The Reading Festival is a music festival that occurs annually in the United Kingdom. It is called so because it is held at Readings in U.K. . . . It is one of the most popular musical extravaganzas that are held in the world. It all started out in the year 1961 and the Reading Festival came from the National Jazz Festival. It takes place in the month of August on every weekend that is Saturday, Sunday and on Friday.
The festival is handled by Festival Republic. The festival has seen many ups and downs on its journey till date. The reading festival tickets are sold hand to hand like the pre-sale tickets for the year 2009 were sold in just two days. A similar festival called the Leeds Festival also started on the same platform and as the name goes happens in Leeds.
As a matter of fact, various genres got recognition in the Reading Festival during its course. The 70’s showcased the rock music and the festival comprised of genres like progressive rock and heavy metal. The 80’s were somewhat a difficult time for the festival as a local council prohibited the festival and took over the land for the development. This was a huge set-back for the enormous fan following of the festival, but later it got its place back and the festival started. In the year 1989, Mean Fiddler administered the Reading festival and took it to new heights as the charisma of the festival was fading with time.
