Review & FAQ:
Reading Festival is actually a pair of music festivals that take place simultaneously: one in Reading and one in Leeds. The festivals are typically held on the bank holiday weekend in August, and the festival in Reading is the oldest music festival in the world to still take place each year. The line-up includes a range of rock, punk, and alternative artists; memorable acts of the past have included Metallica, Greenday, and Nirvana's last ever performance in Britain. Both weekend passes and day passes are available, and the weekend passes include free camping on the festival grounds.
