What You Need To Know

Showbands in Reading cost from £2614 to £25365. The average price in 2025 was £4314. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into Reading from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.
