Reading festival is one of the UK's biggest Rock festivals. Once a mainstream rock/heavy rock festival it now opens its arms up to the indie rock and mixed rock scene with a varied line-up, an excellent dance arena as well. This is one not to be missed.
Last year saw Mumford & Sons, Metallica and The Libertines headline plus many more acts make it one of the biggest linups in years. So watch this space we are sure that 2016 will deliver even more
Camping is available at Reading with various options available.
There is not really much more to say about this prestigious festival as if you don't already know or have heard of it then you shouldn't be looking. Reading is one for all hardcore music lovers calendar.
