Ex-Man City Stars Lescott, Richards Unite at Reading Festival DJ Set

Joleon Lescott, former professional footballer and two-time Premier League winner with Manchester City, has embarked on a new career as a DJ, fulfilling a lifelong dream with a performance at Reading Festival's Jägermeister Stage. His set featured high-energy dance and house music, drawing a large crowd that included his former teammate Micah Richards, who enthusiastically danced and acted as Lescott's MC, engaging the audience with chants and energizing the atmosphere. The duo, who played over 100 games together for club and country, demonstrated a strong friendship beyond football, with Richards supporting Lescott's musical ambitions. Lescott had temporarily paused his DJing pursuits to serve as an assistant coach for England's senior and under-21 teams but has since returned to focus on music full-time. Their shared history and camaraderie were evident throughout the event, highlighting a seamless transition from their football careers to new ventures. Lescott’s passion for house music and his father's influence as a DJ were key elements in his successful career change.
