Talent such as Skepta, Chris Stussy, Keo, Jade and Skye Newman will also be performing.‌However, eyebrows have been raised over the inclusion of the children of some of the UK's biggest stars, with some suggesting that they have secured their spots due to their famous last names.Ultimately, festivalgoers will be brutally honest and they - like other artists at the event - will need to win over the crowd.Cruz BeckhamMost eyes will be on Cruz, who is set to perform with his band The Breakers at Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday following the release of his debut EP Wear & Tear.‌Opening up about his new album, Cruz explained that it follows a "life lived". He said: "We’ve been high, and low, in love and in pain, jealous, upset – we’ve lived and learned. We’ve all got our wear and tear."Last month, Cruz spoke of his mother Victoria's 'tough love', thanking both her and dad David for giving him the self-belief he needed to kickstart his career in music.‌"They've taught me throughout the years to just work on your craft and hone in and make sure you're the best version of yourself at what you're doing," he old SiriusXM Hits 1 Miami. "If they didn't teach me that, I don't think I'd be able to get up on stage and play guitar and be confident enough to show what I've been working at for a long time."Cruz first performed for friends and family last year, which left his mum and dad in "tears of joy". Victoria proudly shared a clip of him singing as he played the guitar and captioned the video: "'Wow!!! You look so happy Cruz and we couldn’t be prouder we love you @cruzbeckham xxxxxxxxxx."‌Amid the infamous fallout between his parents and oldest brother Brooklyn, Cruz has remained fiercely loyal towards his parents. Last year, he slammed claims Victoria and David unfollowed his brother and wrote: "NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I."Gene GallagherLiam Gallagher's youngest son Gene will be performing with his indie rock band Villanelle at 5.25pm on The Canopy Stage at Reading today. The band will then be jetting off to Leeds to perform tomorrow.Gene - whose mum is All Saints singer Nicole Appleton - is the lead vocalist of the band and is joined by Andrew Richmond on drums, Jack Schiavo on bass and Ben Taylor on guitar. They released their debut single hinge last year, which Gene said is about "paranoia derived from sleepless nights". He added: "I was probably hungover when I wrote it."‌Villanelle opened for Liam during his 2024 solo Definitely Maybe tour and Gene admitted earlier this year that it had been a "baptism of fire" in comparison to supporting Miles Kane in January and February."I was more locked in for Miles than ‘Definitely Maybe’," he said. "'Definitely Maybe’, like, I didn’t even know what I was doing. I didn’t even know what a tour was, or how to do it!”‌He added that he "couldn’t sleep the night before" his first set on Liam's tour. “It was so unknown to me. I put on a brave face.”Liam was forced to deny claims of nepotism after announcing that his son's band was supporting him on tour in 2024. In typical LG fashion, he wrote on social media: "I’ve given many opportunities to many young bands over the years it’s what you do if you can now it’s VILLANELLES turn if you don’t like it F***OFF."‌In response to a fan saying "nepotism isn't it Liam", he responded: "Is it f*** he’s my son it’s what you do." He went on to proudly share a video of his son performing with his band, writing: "Cmon."Moses MartinChris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's son Moses will be performing with his indie-pop band People I've Met on The Canopy stage at Reading Festival today and Leeds tomorrow.Moses is the frontman for the band, which first launched in 2025 under the name Dancer but changed their name. They were signed by Interscope Records earlier this year and went on to release their first single Promise.‌The nepo baby has previously sung on a number of Coldplay songs, including Humankind and The Astronaught. He also has a co-writing credit for Orphans and All My Love.Moses has spoken about growing up with his famous parents, telling Rolling Stone that he is "very grateful" to be in the position he's in.‌"Yeah, it’s definitely something to be reckoned with," he said. "I think the ultimate thing is that I’m very grateful to be in the position I’m in and I have a musical DNA through my parents. My parents are incredible and I’m very grateful to be in the position I’m in. But what I’m trying to say is that yes, we acknowledge it and we’re grateful for it, but we’re doing something that is special and unique to us, and that we really care about."In 2024, Gwyneth appeared to speak of her son's musical talent during a birthday post. "I admire how deep you go into areas that interest you, becoming an expert in synths from the 80’s and the French new wave," she gushed. "There is such a magnificent world of ideas and harmonies inside that beautiful head of yours."Violet GrohlThe eldest daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl releaseed her 11-track debut studio album Be Sweet To Me in June and is due to perform on The Canopy stage at Leeds Festival today, and Reading Festival on Sunday.‌However, he was forced to cancel two dates of her current UK headline tour just days ago after losing her voice. So toes will be crossed that she makes it to the stage this weekend.The 20-year-old admitted that she begged her parents to drop out of school when she was a teen and follow in her dad's footsteps. They responded with a "F*** no."‌Her dad has constantly denied her success has anything to do with nepotism, claiming he had "absolutely nothig" to do with her album, nor her record deal with Republic Records/Island EMI.Violet has joined her rocker dad on stage at the FireAid benefit concert last year, which raised $100million for those affected by the devastating wildfires in California."With Violet, I knew that she had a beautiful voice and had amazing pitch and sang with depth and something beyond just like the sound of it," Dave told Kat Corbett on SiriusXM’s Lithium. "There was a lot of feeling to what she would sing when she was like 8 years old. And then as she got older, maybe around 13, she's like, 'Hey, I want to make a record.' And I said, Okay, well, you know, you have to write songs. And I didn't tell her how to do it. I think I gave her like a pen and a notebook and I said, Just start writing stuff. And she did."Article continues belowOver the summer, Violet spoke about how she celebrated her record deal with her dad in the sweetest way. "I signed the paper, and I called my dad, and I was like, ‘Hey, I just signed my deal,’" she told CBS’ Anthony Mason. "He was like, ‘Oh, let’s like celebrate and have dinner.’ And I went over to my parents’ house, and we had a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake and some dinner.”She also addressed being associated with her dad. "I don’t have problems with my association to my dad at all," she said. "It’s really stepping into your own identity that I think was, or is still, the most intimidating, but it’s not that I don’t know who I am, it’s more of a fear of being misunderstood or mischaracterized."Like this story?
