Reading Festival Weekend camping
The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds in England. The events both happen on the bank holiday weekend in August (on Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and share the same bill (usually with one or two exceptions). Between 1998 and 2007 the dual festivals were known offically as the "Carling Weekend" until parting ways with their sponsor Carling in November 2007.[1]
Reading festival has had various musical phases, as detailed below. In the twin-site era, rock/alternative/indie/punk/metal have tended to dominate. The festival typically has the following stages
Main stage major rock/indie/alternative acts
