In 2018, Sleep Token made their first appearance at the Leeds part of the Reading and Leeds Festival. They played on The Pit stage at 13:25 (1:25 PM) for a set of about 30 minutes.
Per resources provided by the Sleep Token Ritual Timeline group, the setlist for this event was similar to the recent one at the UK Tech-Fest in July this same year. With the addition of their rendition of Hey Ya at some point in the set.
Thread the Needle
Calcutta
Fields of Elation
Jaws
Nazareth
Jericho
Blood Sport

Sleep Token performed at the UK Tech-Metal Fest on the Winspear Stage for what is considered only their 8th ritual. At the end of this set was the live debut of Blood Sport, which would not have an official release until November 21 2019 when the album Sundowning was offered for consumption. Due to lack of sources, it is possible that Blood Sport was played previously but this is the first mention of the song the curator of this blog has found so far. Edit: Per advice from another archivist, Blood Sport was also played a month prior, at Download Fest 2018.
The setlist was as follows:
Thread the Needle
Calcutta
Fields of Elation
Jaws
Nazareth
Jericho
Blood Sport

According to several sources, the original band slated for that event had canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. The festival then advised there was a replacement act, a “worst kept secret”, as Distorted Sound Mag put it. There was hint of it on the collective’s website as well as on their Twitter.
The word “வழிபாடு” used with the July 8th date is Tamil, the world’s oldest spoken language, for “worship”.
