Every year Reading and Leeds music festival brings together the worlds of rock, alternative and pop music to end Britain’s stellar festival season. This year was no different as Reading incorporated a style and artist for every kind of music lover. There was Blink 182 and The Prodigy for nostalgia, the likes of 21 Savage for the rap fanatics and Lana del Rey for the pop yearners. Such an eclectic selection is what keeps the festival a refreshing balance of old, new and up-and-coming. Schon! favourites like issue 39 digital cover star Beabadoobee, issue 32 star Jorja Smith and our 2023 ones to watch FLO and Raye took to the stage, too. Check out some highlight snapshots from a weekend of good music to end the summer.
