Halloween 2026 - Night of the Living Riffs

Night of the Living Riffs is coming to The Agincourt in Reading on Saturday 31 October, a Halloween music session that falls on the night itself. It's a one-off evening of live music, and the name does most of the heavy lifting — it's a guitar-led night, so you can expect plenty of riffs and a set built around them.

Because it's on Halloween, the whole thing sits right in the middle of the city's celebrations, and the date means you can head there without having to worry about a working day the next morning. It's a night for anyone who likes their music loud and their guitars front and centre, and since it's a session rather than a single band's tour date, the focus is on the playing itself.

It kicks off at 21:00, so it's a late start that carries through into the night. Entry is £10, and with the session starting at 9pm, it's the kind of thing you can work around other Halloween plans — a drink or a meal first, then over to The Agincourt for the music. If you're in Reading on the 31st and fancy a night of riffs, that's your spot.
