Each week, we print the biggest local gig guide you’ll find anywhere.

And now we’re bringing it in pixels to your computer. The reason? There’s too many gigs to fit into our print edition, so we’ve had to be selective.

The following gigs are all taking place in Reading and Wokingham boroughs – and a few beyond too.

Are your gigs not listed here? Drop us an email at events@wokingham.today and we’ll add them here.

Gig listings are free – but you can support our mission to bring you the best local news, sport, entertainment and information by advertising your business in wokingham.today and Reading Today. For more details, email advertising@wokingham.today
