Reading and Leeds 2026 festival tickets from £295

Reading and Leeds Festival 2026 is selling standard tickets at £295 per person for the August Bank Holiday weekend. If you're planning to go anyway, this is the price floor — no surprises later.

The deal

Standard festival ticket: £295pp, Friday 27 August to Sunday 29 August (four days across the Bank Holiday weekend). Reading hosts the main stage rotation; Leeds runs the same acts on a different schedule, so pick your city based on logistics, not lineup.

Premium camping available at £150pp extra, which includes hot showers and secure lockers — worth considering if you'd otherwise pay more for a nearby hotel or dodgy B&B.

Why we like it

Reading and Leeds still pull decent line-ups, and the dual-city setup means you can pick based on where you live or travel from. Premium camping at £150 is a reasonable add-on if you want basic comforts; standard camping (implied, not detailed) will be cheaper if you're roughing it.

One catch: this is a festival ticket only. You'll need to budget separately for transport, food, and drink — festival prices are what they are. The £295 figure is locked in, but operator terms may apply (refund policy, ID requirements, age restrictions).

How to book

Head directly to the Reading and Leeds Festival website to secure your ticket. Standard allocation goes first; premium camping add-ons are available at checkout. Book sooner rather than later if you're going — festivals with 60,000+ capacity move stock predictably.
