The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals in Reading and Leeds in England. The events occur simultaneously on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend, sharing the same bill. The Reading Festival is held at Little John's Farm on Richfield Avenue in central Reading, near the Caversham Bridge. The Leeds event is held in Bramham Park, near Wetherby, on the grounds of a historic house. Campsites are available at both sites, and weekend tickets include camping. Day tickets are also sold.

The Reading Festival, the original and senior leg of the two, is the world's oldest popular music festival. It has had various musical phases over the years, as detailed below. In the twin-site era, rock, alternative, indie, punk, and metal have tended to dominate.

The Festival Republic runs the festivals, which was divested from Mean Fiddler Music Group. For promotional purposes during 1998-2007, they were known as the Carling Weekend: Reading and the Carling Weekend: Leeds. Unsurprisingly, these titles were seldom used when not required, although NME did so as part of its involvement. In November 2007, the organisers welcomed "Reading Festival reclaiming its prestigious name" when the sponsored title was abolished after nine years. In 2011, the capacity of the Reading site was 87,000, and the Leeds site was 75,000. This was an increase of several thousand in previous years.

There are camping options for this event.
