Reading Festival bans flags in the arena

There will be no flags allowed in the arena at this month's Reading Festival.

The general information pages on the festival's official site, (here), reveals the new rule, saying, "Flags won't be allowed in the arena. They restrict the view of people behind."

As far as eFestivals can remember this is the first time a rule like this has been brought into force at a festival.

The festival is headlined by Kings Of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, and Radiohead, with other acts including Kaiser Chiefs, Placebo, The Prodigy, Maximo Park, Ian Brown, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Gossip, Glasvegas, and many more.
