Readipop Festival director Gavin Lombos: “After last year’s festival saw our audience grow and awareness of our work increase, we were keen to build on this momentum with an even stronger music line-up whilst keeping ticket prices low and making it accessible to all. We feel strongly that we’ve achieved that and our excitement for the performances coming to Caversham this July could not be higher!”
Reading’s home-grown music festival also helps to support the Readipop Music Charity, with all profits going to support the charity’s work with disadvantaged and underrepresented musicians within the town.
