Reading Festival

The Reading Festival is an annual music festival. The Reading Festival is held at Little John's Farm on Richfield Avenue in central Reading, near the Caversham Bridge. The Reading Festival is the world’s most popular and old music festival which still exists. In 2011, the capacity of the Reading site was 87,000. This was an increase of several thousand on previous years.

The Reading Festival originates from the National Jazz Festival, which was conceived by Harold Pendleton (founder of the Marquee Club in London) and was first held at Richmond Athletic Ground in 1961. This festival, in turn, took inspiration from events held in America. Throughout its first decade the festival changed names and moved around sites several times, being held at Windsor Racecourse, Kempton Park and Plumpton , before reaching its permanent home at Reading in 1971.

In November 2007, the organisers welcomed "Reading Festival reclaiming its prestigious name" when the sponsored title was abolished after 9 years.
The Reading and Leads Festivals were known officially as the “Carling weekend” until partying ways with their sponsor Carling in November 2007. Where were various musical phases in Reading Festival, as detailed below. In the twin-site era, rock alternative, indie, punk and metal have tended to dominate.

Reading Festival 2011 was held on 26 August 2011. Reading Festival will be coming back and will be organized on 24 August 2012 at Richfield Avenue Reading. Line up for Reading Festival 2012 will be announced on later date. Pre sale Tickets for Reading Festival 2012 are on sale from 1st September 2011.
