Leaving the bulging tent and going against the traffic heading for Florence And The Machine, I head for the Main Stage. As the sun starts to dip and the winds whips around the crowd Placebo start their set.

Now festival veterans it's a perfectly balanced set, with Brian's distinct voice sitting over the fuller sounding band with added guitarist.

New more positive material from 'Battle for the Sun' gets an airing as does 'The Never Ending Why' amongst older singalong hits, as the sun sets.

You can check out Placebo doing 'The Never Ending Why' at Reading Festival 2009 for yourself - just play the video below!
