Readipop Fiesta 2025

Readipop Festival is taking a fallow year in 2025.

But instead, we bring you Readipop Fiesta, a one-day, 2,500 capacity fundraising event on Saturday 13th September. Readipop Fiesta 2025 will take place across five stages over 14 hours at Reading Students’ Union on Whiteknights Campus of University of Reading. All profits for the event will go towards the work of the Readipop music charity in the local area and to help build a sustainable future for Readipop Festival.

Between midday and 2am, Readipop Fiesta will be bringing a diverse range of world class live acts and DJs alongside the best local talent, family activities, music and arts workshops, local real ales & craft beers, street food, Reading’s Indie Market, a mini record fair and more to Reading University Student’s Union. 

We’re thrilled to reveal that local heroes The Amazons will be topping the bill alongside drum & bass legend Roni Size, Liverpudlian synth pop trio Stealing Sheep and Mr C - best known as a member of 90s dance outfit The Shamen. Eighties indie pop band The Primitives, best known for their Top 5 single “Crash”, and festival favourites Hip Hop Karaoke, who will turn audience members into rap stars, finalise the list of headliners.
