READIPOP FESTIVAL

A Moment to Reflect and Reimagine…

The team at Readipop know that many of you have been waiting for an update about Readipop Festival 2025 and we want to thank you for your patience while we thought long and hard about our options.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Readipop Festival will be taking a fallow year in 2025. Despite being successful in 2024, it is becoming increasingly difficult to put on an event of that scale for such a small charity and team.

We tried to keep ticket prices down during a time of financial difficulty for many, but like many other events, we have struggled with the rising costs and other challenges that occurred post covid.

The 2024 festival costs were significantly more than our income. This has an impact on the rest of our charity work, so we’ll be taking time to re-evaluate the structure and inner workings of the festival to make it more effective for everyone involved.

In 2025 we are excited to announce the opening of our newly refurbished studios at Trafford Road. In anticipation of this, we will be dedicating our efforts to a launch event, alongside a series of special public events throughout the year.

Listen out for the announcement of our first event, which we look forward to sharing with you soon! To keep up with our activities and stay informed about upcoming events, be sure to follow us on our social media channels, Facebook and Instagram.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone – our incredible audience, dedicated volunteers, talented performers, generous sponsors and valued partners – who have supported the growth of Readipop Festival over the past eight years. This summer’s festival was an incredible event, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support!

Your support means everything to us as a charity and helps support the community projects we do year round.

If you can, please consider supporting Readipop Charity via a donation to our Local Giving account, or by showing up to our Christmas Hootenanny and other events over 2025. Your involvement makes a difference!
