of Love
The forgotten festival that became Reading is coming home - for one extraordinary weekend of music, culture, and 70s magic.
Thank you, Plumpton
What a weekend.
To everyone who came, camped, danced and sang their hearts out - thank you. You made this year’s Revival everything we hoped it would be, and then some. Until next time, the fields will be waiting.
And if you already can’t wait… 2027 is on sale now.

The birthplace of Reading Festival.
In 1969 and 1970, Plumpton Racecourse hosted one of Britain's most legendary - yet overlooked - festivals. Pink Floyd. The Who. Ginger Baker. Black Sabbath. All played here in Sussex before the event was forced to relocate - eventually becoming what we now know as Reading Festival.
Now, more than 50 years on, that forgotten chapter of British counterculture is set to roar back into life.
