Reading Rising 2026

Reading Rising returns for its seventh year at The Facebar, once again bringing big names, local heroes, and lesser-known-but-upcoming-bands together on one exciting line-up of alt-rock goodness.

Two days. Two rooms. Loads of bands. NO CLASHES.

We are proud to announce that this year's Reading Rising Saturday headliners will be alt rock British legends InMe, and Sunday will be headlined by Reading Rising favorites LASTELLE. 

They will be joined across the weekend, with further day splits to be announced in due course, by Cabin Boy Jumped Ship, R X P T R S, Shoot To Kill, and Re:O. 

Finally, we are excited to welcome back Siren Craft Brew, Down For Life Music, and Hickies Music as our sponsors. Also, a warm welcome to Vocalzone, who join us as a sponsor for the first time this year. 

Day tickets will be on sale once day splits are announced but Weekend  tickets are available now for £45
