Reading Leeds Festival weekend set for a classic year.
This year's Reading And Leeds Has Set The Dial To ENJOYMENT
Earlier this year, there was a wail of despair from a blog about the lack of female talent on the Reading and Leeds Festival 2015 line up, but August is here and to be honest, now that the bill is complete, this is looking more like the talent breaking, bank holiday mosh up that in a sane world, the “government” would declare a Bank Holiday Tuesday to recover from.
Jeez there's some real goodness on the bill. TheZineUK FuturePicks Youth Man (Brummy sex noise – you MUST see them!), Charli XCX, Ghost Poet, Queen Kwong and our new comedian of the year, Dane Baptiste to name just one handful.
Got 77 Seconds? A blast of 'Skin' by Youth Man.
To the above, add the already legendary US outfit, The Bots to Babymetal, Pretty Vicious, Wolf Alice, Bad Breeding (pictured in our Chapter 006 story book), Black Honey, Tyler The Creator, The Libertines, Azealia Banks, and another of our #FuturePicks, The Sherlocks, and you've got a mini fest of epic proportions right there.
Aww heck, the recommendations are flowing; Ms Dynamite, Skinny Lister, God Damn, Stormzy, Rat Boy, Swim Deep, The Cribs, Lethal Bizzle and - it is 2015, it is a credible music festival, so it does, of course, have Slaves on the bill!

There's not just a whole lotta shaking going on. There's a whole lotta laughing too, at Reginald D Hunter, Milton Jones, Paul Chowdhury and Holly Walsh (who also hosts London's best comedy club, Happy Mondays where quite a few of funny folk on this bill have appeared). This year's Reading and Leeds Festival has set the dials to #EnJOYment
The above is only a fraction of the action, as you can see from the Reading poster below. Everybody will have their own personal faves and a unique adventure. Got your ticket? No? WTF? http://readingfestival.com/tickets while you can!
