Why does Reading finish later?

[YumYum]

As far as i can remember the headliners at Reading finish at 11:30, where as at Leeds its 11. I was just wondering what the specific reason for this is considering Leeds is in the middle of a field and Reading in the middle of a city, anyone know?

maybe something to do with leeds having a much better nightlife that goes on until about 6:00am

The location of the main stage is really close to the local village. They have to adhere to sound level curfew of 11:30pm so have them finish at 11 in case they run over a bit.

The noise from the campsite is further away so they can make all the noise they want till 6am then start all over again haha

Nah Leeds has after hours business so Reading has extra time on mainstage to attempt to balance it out. It doesn't balance anything
