Reading's award-winning new music festival.

Since starting in 2013, the festival has raised nearly £70,000 for Reading Mencap, a local learning disability charity.

As well as raising awareness and funds for Reading Mencap, Are You Listening? Festival strives to nurture and support the local music scene, by booking around 70% of our acts from Reading and the surrounding area.

Just by buying your tickets you are already supporting our official charity partner, Reading Mencap, and making a difference to the lives of local people with Learning Disabilities and their families, so thank you!
