One of Britain’s most well known and well-loved festivals returns, Reading Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before! 

The festival boasts an ever impressive and diverse line-up, ranging all the way from punk and metal, through to rock, alternative, indie, dance, and electro; these are a few of the reasons why Reading Festival is so special.

Reading Festival has developed something of a habit of attracting some of the biggest global superstars, and world-beating bands on the planet to their Berkshire home. 

Music fans will also have a chance to see a whole host of new acts at Reading Festival this year including local bands in the smaller tents as well as the more established ones on Reading Festival's main stage. 

Reading Festival is set to be one of the most electrifying, and unforgettable festival experiences happening in Britain.
