Rockstar Energy presents Reading 2026

All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder aged 18 or over who must remain on site throughout the weekend as the under 16-year-old's guardian. No unaccompanied under 16s are allowed on site. Under 13s (12 years and under) are admitted free but must be accompanied by a paying ticket-holder aged 18 or over at all times. It is the responsibility of the adult(s) to determine the correct ratio of supervising adults to under 18s, taking into account the age, needs and abilities of the children, the nature of the Event and any applicable guidelines. We do not act in any parental or supervisory capacity for under 18s on site. This does not affect our legal duties to any attendee in respect of, or obligation to comply with, any applicable laws including health and safety or licensing laws.
Weekend Tickets are valid for campsite entry from 8am on Thursday 27th August 2026. Reading Festival Tickets are only valid when purchased directly from official agents of Festival Republic. We do not accept Print at Home tickets, Booking Confirmations, screenshots or photos of tickets. Each individual attending must present their own individual ticket at the gate to have the barcode scanned. Tickets for this event have a unique barcode which will be scanned on entry and if found to be duplicated, either in error or for fraudulent gain, only the first instance of the ticket scanned will be admitted regardless of original ownership. Customers may be prosecuted if found to have deliberately duplicated and resold tickets for fraudulent gain. Wristbands removed from the wrist, cut or tampered with will be rendered invalid and will not be replaced. Reading Festival will not replace lost or stolen wristbands regardless of proof of purchase.
