This weekend, we’re ‘on the ground’ at Reading 2022. Featuring some of the biggest and most exciting bands and artists on the planet, alongside the buzziest new acts, we’ll be bringing you coverage of everything you need to know. That includes photos of all the key sets, including these snaps of Circa Waves, who took to the Main Stage East on Friday (26th August).
Reading as a festival has expanded in recent years to include every genre under the sun, but its heart remains with the bucket-hat wearing indie masses. Luckily, Circa Waves are here to get them throwing pints and making mosh pits like nobody’s business. Several albums in, they’ve built up an impressive back catalogue of festival hits, with the absolutely massive crowd treating newer cuts like 2020’s ‘Sad Happy’ with as much energy as old classics. Of course, it’s ‘T-Shirt Weather’ that gets the biggest reaction though, blasting out while the evening sun lights up the stage. It’s hands in the air and people on shoulders as the band close out their set with a grin. Dave and Megan Thee Stallion might be headlining, but Reading’s still got space in its heart for some good old-fashioned indie.
