The best of British and international acts will not let you and your indulgence down!

The annual Reading Festival is being held from the 25th-27th of August at Richfield Avenue in Reading, right along with the Leeds Festival taking place just a few hours away with the same acts for both the festivals. Although we would be a bit biased to Reading just because it’s the world’s oldest popular music festival still in existence.

The two popular music festivals have a massive number of acts taking multiple stages over the course of three days including Muse, Liam Gallagher, Bastille, Major Lazer, Kasabian, Eminem, Migos, Korn, Halsey, Flume, Fat Boys Slim, Dillon Francis, Marshmello, Bishop Briggs, Oh Wonder, Everything Everything and more, joining the massive holiday weekend extravaganza! See the entire line-up here:

There are still a few artists left to be revealed but they sure do a good job at convincing us to head there. Read on if you wanna know how to get to Reading and have the time of your life!

Festival Tickets:

The weekend long festival tickets are not exactly cheap as the festival tickets are approx. INR 18,300 including taxes. There are options for the festival and daily tickets here but Saturday is already sold out! Now, this might be more than anticipated but do you really need to put a price on the chance to see Liam Gallagher live? Not really!

Flying To Reading

Since the booking will be done a few months in advance, the average cost from flying from anywhere in India to Heathrow in UK will be around INR 50,000. This is really good considering the fact that prices will skyrocket since it’ll be summer in the country and tourism will be at a high. Below are the options for Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru from SkyScanner:

You could also get a direct bus to Reading Station and catch another bus to The Moderation, just a minute away from the venue. This journey will cost you INR 1,248.
