# Event Details - **Event Name**: Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Heavy Pop presents The Pill (Independent Venue Week) Wed 28th Jan | The Face Bar, Reading 14+ (under 18s w/ an adult | 7:30pm | £12 Adv (subject to booking fee) - The Pill - The Pill (Independent Venue Week) "The sky’s the limit for this punk duo" - God is in the TV "Accidental punk heroes The Pill turn social media mischief into musical gold" - DORK Mag In a world still shaken by online misogyny and narrow ideas of femininity, The Pill are the defiant, irreverent voice Gen Z punk has been waiting for. Formed by Lily Hutchings (vocals/guitar) and Lottie Massey (vocals/bass), the Isle of Wight duo have spent the past few years honing their riotous blend of satire, sarcasm, and spitfire punk into something entirely their own. Now, they’re ready to unleash it with the release of their self-titled debut EP, a sold-out UK headline tour, and a run of shows with Green Day, The Hives, Panic Shack, HotWax, plus appearances at over 30 UK including BBC Introducing at Reading and European festivals throughout 2025. Plus, support from 6Music's Steve Lamacq, Dork, Clash and more. What began as a joke, a fake band dreamed up after school, has evolved into one of the most exciting new acts in British punk. The Pill’s sharp commentary and sub-two-minute bangers are turning heads across the globe with influences from The Slits and Beastie Boys, to the fearless attitude of Amy Winehouse. Their music lands hard both sonically and thematically. The duo now play the Facebar as part of Independent Venue Week. + The Dazed Minded The Dazed Minded is a rising female-led indie sleaze/garage rock band from Reading, UK, known for blending 2000s retro energy with modern hooks, harmonies, and swagger, featuring singer Beth. They've gained buzz with singles like "Oh Boy," played festivals like Are You Listening?, supported bands such as Picture Parlour, and are building a strong local following with their energetic live shows. --- For all listings, go to: heavypop.co.uk Sign up to our mailer: heavypop.co.uk/#signup Socials: @heavypoppromo Support Heavy Pop by becoming a Friend with Benefits: heavypop.co.uk/friends-with-benefits - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/reading/heavy-pop-the-pill-independent-venue-week-the-dazed-minded-sold-out-|-reading/200029086650312 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 95 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Reading - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Facebar - **lat**: 51.45562982909 - **long**: -0.98199152620509 - **full address**: The Facebar, DC Payments Uk, Ambrose Place, Reading, RG1 7, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/2dfd91afb5c363bf852157c6d42fcc9490e82c883d1a303176c08f611dc27193-rimg-w800-h662-dc2162a8-gmir?v=1769462851 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading being held? - **A:** Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading takes place on Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 07:30 pm at The Facebar, DC Payments Uk, Ambrose Place, Reading, RG1 7, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading? - **A:** Heavy Pop: The Pill (Independent Venue Week) + The Dazed Minded *SOLD OUT* | Reading is organized by Heavy Pop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
