More on the Reading & Leeds Festival
Reading & Leeds Festival traces its history to the National Jazz Federation Festival of the 1960s, first held in Richmond upon Thames in London, but moving to Reading in the early 1970s due to the demand for a larger venue brought upon by increasing popularity and a more diverse lineup since the initial festival.
The festival further expanded after its move to Reading, gaining traction with popular acts such as Alice Cooper and Nirvana, as well as the Beastie Boys. This led to the expansion of the festival to its second venue in Leeds in 1999, starting at Temple Newsam but moving to Bramham Park in 2002.
Reading & Leeds festival continued to grow in popularity after finding its second site in Leeds, with the establishment of the shared lineup as well as a focus on drawing artists from genres other than the traditional rock and metal ones helping boost crowds in subsequent editions.
In 2005, an offshoot festival was established in Reading, titled the Reading Fringe Festival. Part of the leadup to the main Reading & Leeds festival, the festival was formed by local artists and organizers in the hopes of drawing crowds from the larger festival towards local talents. Since then, the festival has won several local awards.
The festival also maintains its own awards categories, titled The Legend*d*aries Awards!, with categories such as Best Twitter Bantz, Most Unexpected Onstage Collaboration, Best Mosh Pit, and Best Cover On Stage, among others.
