More about Reading & Leeds Festival

Reading & Leeds Festival started as a single-city event in the form of the National Jazz Festival founded by Harold Pendleton. It was first held in 1961 at the Richmond Athletic Ground in Richmond Borough, London.

The festival moved to Reading in 1971, evolving from its Jazz origins to a more rock music-based festival, with lineups primarily featuring a mix of progressive rock, and blues musicians and bands.

Reading & Leeds continued in Reading for the next few decades, before finally expanding into its twin city festival structure in 1999, with the initial venue being Temple Newsam. The festival moved to its present location in 2003.
