4 SHARES Share Tweet It seems Bring Me The Horizon are set to play a secret set at Reading Festival this weekend. The five piece from Sheffield are currently preparing to embark on a string of touring dates, which include Europe in November 2018 and North America in January 2019. But it appears they’ve added another stop to the list, and will be swinging by the iconic weekender for a secret set. Reading & Leeds Festival which kicks off today, is continuing its tradition of playing host to some of the biggest names in music, and this year sees the likes of Panic! At The Disco, Wolf Alice and Kendrik Lamar adorning the billing. If that wasn’t enough, The Wombats are also scheduled to appear on the BBC Introducing stage in addition to their main stage set. Tickets for the event are sold out, so if you’re not there already, you’ll have to wait until next year – but check in with us over the weekend to get the latest on all the goings-on from Britain’s biggest festival.

Credit: getreading Hordes of music fans have arrived in town for this year's Reading Festival. Thousands of music fans young and old were in high spirits despite gloomy skies looming over Reading, Berkshire on Thursday, August 23. Fans could be seen carrying their equipment both in the town centre and along the short walk to the festival gates in Richfield Avenue. The early birds who arrived the day before probably pinched the best camping spots but there was still plenty of space for campers to set up and perhaps indulge in a spot of drinking. While everything kicks off properly on Friday, August 24, there was some music for fans to enjoy on the Thursday. The Smirnoff House Stage was open from 5pm to around 11pm for eager dancers, featuring Cal Griffin, Hazel Marimba, Goldierocks and Syreeta.
