What is the difference between leeds and reading festivals

Reading is great for being close to the city centre, like a 5 minute walk, so you can easily top up with beer etc. I'm from Birmingham and going to Reading is about a 90 minute drive. Though we're all in the disabled campsite now which is a different experience - though still more rowdy than white campsite. For a full on, no sleep, party weekend I'd go for red or orange.

White is quite quiet although a little less "refugee camp" than the rest, close to a large car park, but, 30 mins walk from the arena. My only advice for the whole weekend is to have a laugh and don't go for gold on the Friday, the amount of passed out teenagers I see at 5pm on a Friday is hilarious!

Always found sound when I went to be superior at Leeds. I actually enjoyed elements of camping at Reading more so due to it being flatter. As for getting into the site then Leeds wins easy, park ring outside the gated and the 2nd time I went Reading to realised how much I don't want to do that walk again.

Dukey Posted August 15, Posted August 15, Thanks mate , at Leeds also where is the best place to camp? KipperMog Posted August 16, The case for: Heritage, baby! Reading Festival is a descendant of the National Jazz Festival, which was first held back in Beginning in , the Leeds leg is a relative newcomer. The case for: Fields, man! Festivals are all about escaping the city and going wild in the country.

Bands frequently say that British crowds get louder the further north you go, and the crowds do tend to go off in Leeds. They also like to set fire to things more.
