David Beckham and Victoria Beckham looked every inch the proud parents as they watched their son Cruz Beckham make his major UK festival debut at Reading festival over the weekend
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham were seen proudly watching their son Cruz Beckham as he made his major UK festival debut over the weekend.
Following in his former Spice Girl mother’s footsteps, Cruz, 21, took to the stage at Reading festival on Saturday afternoon, 29 August, to perform alongside his band, The Breakers, on the Canopy stage.
David was seen proudly smiling while watching Cruz on stage, with fashion designer Victoria holding her husband close, slinging an arm around his shoulder, with a camera in her hand. Cruz’s siblings Romeo and Harper and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel were also there to watch him perform.
The set comes days after Cruz released his EP, Wear & Tear, which follows his 2026 single For Your Love. Cruz wasn’t the only act with famous parents performing at Reading and Leeds festival throughout the weekend.
Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and All Saints star Nicole Appleton’s son Gene Gallagher performed at the festival on Friday as the lead singer and guitarist of the band Villanelle, and returned to the stage on Saturday afternoon at Leeds festival. The band, who have been performing since 2024, released debut single Hinge last year.
Moses Martin, the son of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his ex-wife actress Gwyneth Paltrow, also played at both sites with his band, People I’ve Met. The trio, originally known as Dancer, changed their name and then released debut single Promise in December 2025.
Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet has followed her Foo Fighters’ father into the music industry, releasing debut album Be Sweet To Me in May. She also performed on the Canopy stage, which has since been dubbed by some online as “the nepo stage” and stirred controversy as it replaced the BBC Introducing stage which platformed undiscovered artists.
Organisers Festival Republic said its new Canopy stage was for for up and coming and emerging talent.
Before watching Cruz perform at Reading Festival, Victoria shared a series of sun-kissed family holiday snaps, including one of her kissing David.
The 52-year-old documented moments from the summer on Instagram as David appears in a number of the photos, along with Harper, Romeo and Cruz.
Victoria said: “Creating special memories this summer “I love you all so much xxxxxxx.”
In one photo, Victoria is wearing a straw sun hat as she holds David’s face, appearing to make him “smile” for the camera. Another shows the pair kissing, and in one snap, Victoria has her arm wrapped around David’s shoulder at sunset.
Harper responded in the comment section: “Most amazing summer.”
