The singer's global rise has been meteoric since her 2024 single "Good Luck, Babe!" exploded, instantly molding a generation of obsessed Roanies and making her an LGBTQ+ icon. "The Giver" and "The Subway" followed to great acclaim, and a reappraisal of Roan's debut album — "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" — gave new fans the chance to rediscover karaoke classics like "Hot To Go!" and "Casual"

She famously sings that "everything good happens after midnight", but she's been positioned in the perfect evening slot for her shows at Reading & Leeds this year. They'll be her only U.K. festival headline shows of 2025, making these an unmissable pair of performances.

How to watch Chappell Roan at Reading & Leeds from abroad

Thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), Chappell Roan at Reading & Leeds should be available to Brits no matter where you are. The software enables your laptop, smartphone or streaming device to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where you are in the world. Our favorite is NordVPN, which unblocks iPlayer and most other streaming sites.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.K. and want to view iPlayer, you'd select U.K. server from the list.

3. Sit back and watch the show. Head to BBC iPlayer to watch Chappell Roan at Reading & Leeds 2025 online live and on-demand.

Can I watch Chappell Roan at Reading & Leeds 2025 in the U.S., Australia or Canada?
