I am so jealous of anyone going to Reading & Leeds this year the line up is insane. One of the best line ups for a UK festival I have seen this year. The three headline acts are fab especially Friday as i really like Mumford and Sons their new album is one of the best ones they have done so far ! Now if i was going to reading i would definitely have to be careful who would choose to go and see due to the amount of bands and artists that i like that are going.
Here are a select few that i would go and see if i was able to go to Reading this year.
1. Echosmith - The female fronted sibling band are playing a UK festival ! playing the NME/BBC Radio 1 stage at the festival on the Friday/Saturday depending on where your going. Song to listen to -Come Together
2. Pvris - Yay for female fronted bands ! I don't know how to describe Pvris's sound but its unique and I really love it. Reason why you should see these is because they are about to get big. From being on tour with Lower Than Atlantis to now playing Reading and Leeds for the first time so this is really exciting. Song to listen to - Fire
3. Coasts - How many festivals are these guys playing this year ! I recommend seeing them completely as they are so,so good live like i really want to see them again especially with their album out in September. I hype these guys up to much i know but i really do love them. Reason why you should see these is just because they are incredible live you wouldn't think it but wow they are insane. Song to listen to - Lions
4. Don Broco - Don Broco are a band ive grown to love over the past year. With a new album out in august my guesses are they will be playing some new stuff from their album which is all exciting stuff as some of the new songs are so good like automatic is a summery festival song for sure. A song to listen to - Money Power Fame
5. Marmozets - Marmozets have only gone and landed a spot on the main stage on the Saturday !! This makes me rather happy because i think they have come a long way and deserve to be playing the MAIN STAGE !!!! Seriously though you should go and see them if you like mosh pitting , walls of death and people going crazy ! Song to listen to - Born Young and Free.
6. Moose Blood - These are going to be crazy. I heard about these after seeing a few of their songs floating around on twitter and needless to say they are one of those bands you can listen to for every mood your feeling I would so go and see these as they are another band that will soon become big hopefully. Song to listen to - I Hope You're Missing Me
7. As It Is - The punk pop brighton band who are nearing the end of playing warped tour in america and soon heading to reading and leeds ! They are another band that are set for huge things in the future Especially after releasing their debut album a few months ago which is fab ! A song to listen to - Sorry
8. We Are The Ocean - They also supported Lower Than Atlantis with Pvris back in april and ark is such an incredible album. Expect some insane moshing , ridiculous guitar playing and just a insane set. Holy Fire live is one song that i can imagine sounding huge live so look out for that if you see them. Song to listen to - Do It Together.
9. Dillon Francis - A weird one to add to this list but for some reason i really like his music. He's collaborated with Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco and has some really summery songs to definitely get you in the festival spirit. I can imagine his set being absolute chaos plus ive got my hopes up that there could be a possibility of Brendon singing onstage for one of the songs ! Fingers crossed that this happens because it will be fab ! Song to listen to - Hurricane feat Lily Elise
10. Fort Hope - I have only recently discovered Fort Hope and wow i love this band they are pretty good so if you're going definitely go and check them out as they ones to look out for in the future. I have mentioned these before a while ago i think but I'm mentioning them again because you need to see them if your going to reading and leeds ! A song to listen to - The Rapture
Now you know who i would probably go and see if i was going to reading in August ! Its literally one of the best line ups for a festival i have ever seen it makes other festivals look boring compared to this ! One year i hope to go so i can experience this !
Speak soon
