It's not impossible from the midwest, but I'd be surprised. Be an overnight flight after their set on the 15th and play in London the afternoon after they land. Then again, it could easily have been part of the deal when they agreed to support 5SOS that they'll have this date off, and even that their transport home and back is paid for. Quite a lot of effort for a one day festival, but who knows!

No reason why not, there’s no obligation to camp with a weekend ticket

Think with the two stages you have to pick which one you prefer, go with that and accept you won’t get a good spot for the next act/miss a couple of songs of the previous. I’ll be leaving Blossoms early today for a good spot for Wolf Alice, no doubt about that. To be fair, there’s always been clashes with the NME tent so changing it back won’t change that!

No time yesterday. They check covid pass first, which took 5 seconds, then it’s the same as normal

Sam Fender was superb. Catfish bizarre. Songs sounded fine from where I was but they barely said a word

Yep- had the sound sorted for Sports Team as well. Sounded much better than NBT. Frankie C on the lock up 6pm, fantastic!

Yes please! Fingers crossed

Can you take your tiresome misery somewhere else please?

Judging by their Insta you might be in luck, they’re saying it’ll be early

Maybe, on the app there are still two big gaps on the lock up. One we know is Don Broco, the other who knows?

Reading, going Friday and Sunday: FRIDAY: Sea Girls, Nothing But Thieves, Sam Fender SUNDAY: Wolf Alice, Biffy, Hot Milk

If they’re actually announcing them tonight then they are not exactly secret sets are they? When the likes of BMTH, Foals and Jamie T did it a few years ago there were hints, but nothing actually confirmed until an hour or two before. I’m seeing the likes of Jake Bugg and Sherlocks as replacements for acts that have pulled out rather than genuine secret sets

I bought a day ticket for Friday via ticketmaster resale and have got it in the wallet fine

I went for a wander along the river in Reading on Sunday and it looked like they’d added a second checkpoint further east from the green entrance. Looked like they’ll do the covid check first before the normal ticket queue, which would be consistent with the couple of gigs I’ve been to lately

To be fair, as a last minute replacement that’s not too bad. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have a ‘subs bench’ though

Yep, also a bar shown there called ‘The Tap House’ which might serve something a bit more interesting than Carlsberg!

Bit of patience, my friend- we’ve waited 2 years for this, we can wait an extra week for stage times!
