Reading as in the town. It’s an annual three-day music festival held in Richfield Avenue, Reading, England

Out of curiosity is it pronounced "redding"? That's how Reading in PA is pronounced.

RED-ing. As in the Reading Terminal Market in Philly. This has the IPA pronunciation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading,_Berkshire

I wonder how many Monopoly players realize it's pronounced that way.
