This year’s festival is set to take place from August 27-29, with the likes of Stormzy, Post Malone and Queens of the Stone Age set to headline.
Reading Borough Council had previously raised doubts about this year’s Reading Festival going ahead, but late last week the council granted organisers Festival Republic a licence to hold their festival this summer.
A spokesperson said: “Festival Republic have had their licence approved and given the recent Government announcement that Covid restrictions will cease from 19 July, we would anticipate the festival will go ahead,”
“As with all festivals this summer, there will need to be detailed consideration on how Covid-19 risks can be minimised.
“Therefore, should the festival run, we will work with Festival Republic and our partners in the police, fire and ambulance service to ensure our part in the event running as smoothly and safely as possible.”
