One of the great joys of music festivals – you’re wandering around the arena with some time to kill before the next artist you really want to see is coming on the main-stage, you walk past one of the smaller tents and the sound coming out drags you in. The performance is intoxicating, and before you know it, you have a new favourite band.
We’ve all been there! Whether you found a new favourite band at Reading and Leeds this year or you just want to catch your already-favourite band live again, loads of the bill are going on tour later this year/early next. Here’s some of them, with some footage so you can relive an unforgettable weekend…
Bring Me The Horizon
The Sheffield rockers performed a secret-set at the BBC Radio 1 tent on Saturday afternoon. Catch them live on tour later this year!

The pop-star was a real highlight and packed out the BBC Radio 1 tent. She’s heading out on her own headline tour in November and will be supporting George Ezra on his March 2019 arena dares.
