It’s Reading Festival this weekend, and as part of Pinning Reading’s History we’ve been collecting photos and stories from the Festival which started in 1971, growing out of the National Jazz Festival. Check out Reading Museum’s website for a full list of all the bands who’ve played on the main stage in years past.

Reading Festival and Reading Post have contributed some great pics from their archives (including mechanical horses and bin-bag fashion) and we’ve had some great pins from Festival goers.

If you’ve got photos and memories of Reading Festival add to the map. If you’re heading down for the weekend, hope the weather’s kind!
