Reading Fake Festival 2027

READING! 🎤 “IT’S A KIND OF MAGIC!” 

You’re right, Freddie... it’s been too long, and we’ve missed that Reading magic! Those big singin’ voices, that buzzin’ vibe... and we haven’t forgotten your massive first Fake-Fest sellout! 

So we’re back for our 20th anniversary with a stonkin’ line-up: pro-level Fake Bands for Queen, Bowie, Pink, Nirvana, Blondie, Depeche Mode and the Arctics – that’s SEVEN, an extra band this year! 

You know it, we know it... this one can’t be missed! So get your dancin’ shoes on, let our Alex kick things off early, get the party really started with Pink, then finish on the pinnacle of rock... our Freddie! Phew! Grab tix quick... welcome back, Reading!
