David and Victoria Beckham proud as son Cruz plays at Leeds Festival
- On Saturday, Cruz Beckham made his major UK festival debut at Reading Festival, performing with his band, The Breakers, on the Canopy stage while parents Sir David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria Beckham watched.
- Originally known as Dancer, the band released debut single "Promise" in December 2025, while Cruz released his EP Wear & Tear just days before the performance.
- Cruz was not the only performer with famous family ties; Gene Gallagher, son of Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton, also performed, as did Moses Martin and Violet, daughter of Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters.
- Organisers Festival Republic stated the new Canopy stage was for emerging talent, though it replaced the BBC Introducing stage, causing some online to dub it "the nepo stage."
- Performers with famous parents appeared at Reading and Leeds throughout the weekend, with Violet, for example, hitting the Canopy stage at Leeds on Friday before returning to Reading on Sunday.
