This time last week I saw a rumoured line up for this years Reading & Leeds Festival and I so wanted it to be legit but I thought there was no way it will be. So there I was on Wednesday slaving away helping a friend with her photography studio when I got an over-excited text from Meg about the line-up being real. Reading just went from being great to absolutely unbefreakinglievable.
THE WONDER YEARS
Over the years these guys have truly become one of my all time favourite bands and when it comes to seeing them live they're pretty much in the number one spot. I can't even describe a Wonder Years show - you have to experience it. I'm ecstatic to be seeing these guys in a festival setting, the only downer is my brother won't be there and seeing The Wonder Years is kinda our thing. It sure as hell isn't gonna stop me from having an amazing time - and bragging about it later.
TONIGHT ALIVE
Since the release of their fantastic sophomore album - The Other Side - this ultra talented quintet from down under have been making gigantic waves over on our shores. The last time I saw them was in a tiny venue with no barriers so the fact their Reading debut is on the main stage is evidence enough at just how much this band has progressed in what's really a short amount of time. I'm excited to finally hear these new tracks live as well as old favourites... and with the band going home to write album number three there's always the possibility of hearing newer new tracks. GET ME THERE NOW!
THE STORY SO FAR
Back in February my brother and I were buzzing to be seeing A Day To Remember with these guys as one of the supports. I had work that day until 6, I live an hour and half away and according to the venue The Story So Far were playing at 6:45pm. I don't know how - well I do, some very illegal driving - I made it to the venue in time to see them. I got out the car and my brother came running over to tell me that the gig had been cancelled. And i'm sure anyone reading this is going 'ah yeah adtr gig cancel gate.' We were pretty gutted but got tickets to see New Found Glory where TSSF are the main support so their set will actually be longer. Now, with them playing Reading this year i'm gonna be seeing their pop-punk mania at least twice. I say at least because i'm hoping they remain the support for the rescheduled show just 2 days after Reading...

MAYDAY PARADE
I actually can't believe these guys are playing Reading. Not only am I so happy for them but i'm so happy for myself and everyone else to get to see them. With their unique blend of pop-rock that'll leave you bawling your eyes out they're bound to capture some more hearts during their set.

TWIN ATLANTIC
They're pretty familiar faces on the Reading scene nowadays and i've seen them live three times with their music growing on me more and more each time. Last year they played Main Stage but they're back in the atmospheric NME tent this year where hopefully we'll hear some new music (that's better than Heart and Soul) from their upcoming album.
