It'll just be the council being cautious at this stage but just thought I'd share: https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/19126083.reading-festival-confirmation-downplayed-council/ No it's true though. No one has given an official yes from it. The festival have plugged the media with what they had to go on and the intended result they wanted is what they got.

Tom Connolly Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Rob Kellas seems to think that the 2 main stage thing is “definitely a one off” (most recent video at time stamp 18:30) he usually has some sort of inside info but i’m not sure he does on this. What’s everyone’s opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be right, think they also mentioned in their vid that 2021’s headliners were already booked by the time 2020’s festival would’ve took place, hence six headliners this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s everyone’s opinions? My initial thought was it was a one off as they were going to try and make everything outside. However, with the fact that the other tents bar R1 are probably still going to be there, my thoughts are it’s permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
