Despite being told that there would be no offical beer for the festival in multiple press releases, it has been announced that Tuborg have signed a sponsorship deal with Festival Republic to become this year’s drinks vendor.

The sponsorship builds on an already impressive roster of summer festivals including Download Festival, 02 Wireless Festival, Hard Rock Calling, Global Gathering, Latitude Festival, and Escape into the Park. The deal further cements Tuborg’s association with great live music, and will establish it as the definitive beer brand for festival goers this summer.

“Carlsberg are very pleased and excited about their new exclusive three year deal with the Reading and Leeds Festivals. These are fantastic music events for the Tuborg brand to establish its ‘official beer’ status and continue to build on its music credentials in the UK,’ said Gareth Roberts, Head of Sponsorship and Media at Carlsberg UK.”

‘We are looking forward to working closely with Festival Republic and being part of a unique and fun experience for the music fans visiting the events over the next three years”.
