Celebrate Christmas with drinks, live music, and the joy of requesting your favourite song
2. Pick your song
3. Fill our request slip
4. Hand it to the band
5. Enjoy your song live
Christmas drinks at Playlist Live, where you dictate the soundtrack to the holiday season. Ditch the tired Christmas playlists and cliché tribute acts, fill out a request slip, hand it to our live house band, and watch over 1,000+ songs come to life, live, loud, and exactly how you want to hear them.
No DJ. No predictable covers. Just a world-class house band with a massive repertoire and a crowd that decides what happens next. Want to hear a classic Christmas anthem? A 90s rock hit? An unexpected pop duet? You name it, we play it.
Reserve a drinks table for your festive crew, draft your song requests, and let the band bring the party to life. Expect incredible vibes, flowing drinks, delicious seasonal food, and a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night unlike any other.
Reading has plenty of pubs with a band in the corner. Play List Live isn’t that. This is a genuine night out built around interactive live music, part gig, part party, entirely unpredictable.
A live band who know 1,000+ songs across pop, rock, indie, motown, dance, and party classics
Audience-requested setlists every single Saturday is different
Great food to fuel the singing and dancing
Full bar cocktails, pints, the works
A dance floor that fills up fast once the requests start rolling in
Whether you’re planning a birthday night out in Reading, a group celebration, a date night with a difference, or just fancy something better than the usual Saturday routine – this is it.
Grab a request slip at your table
Write down your song – anything spanning every decade and genre
Hand it to the band
Hear it played live, right there on the night
