Reading Rising is our annual Alt-Rock and Metal festival. Set over two stages at the Facebar in Reading the event showcases big names in the genre, local heroes, as well as lesser known, upcoming bands. Our aim is to bring through high quality touring bands in the alt rock/metal scene to town and celebrate the quality of the UK scene.
