Festivals

At Reading 2017 we had a chat to Joe Talbot (vocals) and Mark Bowen (lead guitar) of Idles. Undoubtedly one of our favourite interviews of the weekend, we were accompanied by a great little lad called Isaac who’s been described as their future drummer - they’re already planning ahead for generations! We spoke to the band about their latest record Brutalism, festival anthems and more.

There's chance you'll have heard the name Fizzy Blood a lot recently, and it’s no surprise why. With their exciting live shows and recently released Summer of Luv EP the Leeds band are showing no signs of slowing down. We caught up members Jake Greenway and Benji Inkley following their show at Reading Festival to find out more about what’s going on in their world.

At Reading Festival 2017 we caught up with Lou Miceli (vocals) and Aaron Rosa (drummer) from electronic-core band Palisades. The Rise Records signing have had a busy year so far, from touring to releasing their third studio album - we caught up with them for a chat about how it’s been.

Confirmed to support Good Charlotte on their UK tour later this year, we sat down with Against The Current for a chat at Reading Festival 2017.

Ahead of their slot on The Pit stage at Reading Festival 2017 we caught up with Dan Brown of The Amity Affliction to discuss touring, changing their sound and festivals. The year is only set to get busier for the This Could Be Heartbreak musicians, who were recently announced as the headliners of Kerrang! Tour 2017.

Another year, another outstanding Reading Festival. Taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend in Richfield Avenue, the three day epic is home to some of the biggest worldwide names spanning across genres far and wide. With a gloriously sunny landscape to top it all off, here's how our weekend at the festival went down...

Prior to their debut appearance at Reading Festival we sat down with Taka Moriuchi of Japanese rock band One OK Rock. 2017 saw the release of their album Ambitions and relentless touring so we had plenty to talk about, including the burning question of his favourite collaboration…

Following on from their set at Reading Festival we had a chat with The LaFontaines frontman Kerr Okan about their upcoming album Common Problem, the festival weekend and what's next on the cards in 2017.

Transgressive Records return to Reading & Leeds Alternative Stage & announce their line-up.

With 2000trees just around the corner we're all starting to plan what we'll be cramming into our schedule. We know how difficult that can be, especially with so much on offer, so we've picked our must-see bands to help you out. Here is who we think you should check out this weekend...
