Your Sunday is honestly an incredible day of music. I recommend Swim School before Last Dinner Party 

Apart from Fred Again who is complete shite.

Each to their own tbh, Fred Again is the reason I'm going to my 1st Leeds for the day since 2019, 1st time some of my group have been back to Leeds since 2008.

Anyone know if/where I’d be able to get a last minute/fairly cheap Friday day ticket for Reading? Kinda fancy it now. 

Facebook, any group they usually have em well cheap

[footix2]

Bah was hoping to see Good Neighbours today on the Radio 1 Stage 🤦‍♂️ absolutely crazy weather for late August 

[andyrhodes24]

Leeds is carnage today, not letting people in from the car parks until between 12-2pm at the earliest. Wind is so bad it’s knocked down some of the telegraph poles and warped the scaffolding toilet/water signs

[Hart Attack]

Big gap on the FR stage at Reading today, looks like the earlier bands have been moved to a bit earlier to widen the gap further... seems to suggest secret set.

We’re still able to arrive and park up right? Trying to work out whether to delay setting off or not

My nephew is at Leeds for his first festival...feeling pretty bad for him right now!

Would be good if they'd give sone indication of the arena opening time so day people can plan when to turn up

They genuinely can’t because of the weather, it’s unpredictable. It seemed to be dying down about an hour ago but it’s just as windy again now. Sounds like it’s caused all sorts of havoc in the arena.

A lot of them will be so under prepared and probably first time camping.  Just messaged my lad who is a third year veteran and his tent is still standing.

[Andre91]

A tree branch snapped off and went through a tent not far from us in Green.

Yeah I get that. Obviously need to make the arena safe, but if they are waiting for gusts to die down we could be in for a good few hours wait yet

We arrived at 9am and they have sent people back to their cars. Not expecting it open until at least 12 though a lot of people waiting to get in....

[CG31]

Anyone got any idea where the Jager Platz thing is at Reading, was gonna try catch a bit of Fish56 later on

[footix2]

Shuttle buses back on. Looking like another  90 minutes before they are letting people in though. I'm going for a pint instead for now 🤣

Funny how they worded this!

[Case114]

So wind is awful  but what about rain, in other words, do we need wellies??

[she bangs the drums]

Still queuing to get in to searches and wristband exchange,

Still queuing to get in to searches part at Rakers Gate and wristband exchange, no sign of this opening up (1pm) it's going to be a long wait. 

[Chapple12345]

Sounds pretty horrific at Leeds, the arena isn't going to open until 2 and most acts appear to be cancelled until about 3

Wellies won’t be needed! Sun is out and quite warm when it isn’t windy. Ground is fine; rained a bit last night but it wasn’t anything too mad.

Secret set reading introducing stage at 17:30 TBA
