Reading & Leeds History 

The Reading and Leeds Festivals have a fascinating history that started in 1961 as the National Jazz Festival. Originally held at various locations, the festivals settled in Reading in 1971. During the 1970s, the music shifted from jazz to rock, and by the late '70s and '80s, punk and new wave were introduced. In the late '80s, there was a struggle between mainstream pop and traditional rock, leading to changes in management.

In the '90s, Nirvana's performances marked a turning point, and the festivals embraced a more diverse lineup with Britpop and indie. The 2000s saw the festivals sell out quickly, with occasional challenges like riots. In recent years, Reading and Leeds continued to expand, facing a setback in 2020 due to the pandemic but returning in 2021 with multiple stages and headliners. However, incidents in 2022 sparked criticism.
