Leeds Festival - Reading and Leeds Festivals

The Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds in the United Kingdom. The Reading and Leeds Festivals take place simultaneously on the 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 Reading Festival, the original and senior leg of the two, is the world's oldest popular music festival still in existence.

The Leeds Festival is held in Bramham Park, near Wetherby, the grounds of an historic house. The Reading and Leeds Festivals are run by Festival Republic, which was divested from Mean Fiddler Music Group.

For promotional purposes during 1998-2007 Reading and Leeds Festivals were known as the Carling Weekend: Reading and the Carling Weekend: Leeds. In 2007, the capacity of the Reading site was 80,000 and the Leeds site was 70,000.
