COMMENT: reading festival 2011


Holy smokes.

What a weekend. From the first explosions of the Architects' drum kit to the last firework of the Muse spectacle, Reading Festival 2011 was an experience that TWOL is likely to never forget. TWOL would require more than 200 words to do even the slightest bit of justice to the magnificence of the 2011 Reading Festival; so here is a list of 10 things which blew TWOL's mind at Reading.

  • Muse's spectacular 2-hour set, stage production and light show.
  • MCR's encore with, as Gerard Way informed us, "Brian FUCKIN' May".
  • The best part of 30,000 people singing "Happy Birthday" to Elbow's bassist, Pete Turner.
  • The mosh pit during Your Demise's set which covered 2/3 of the Lock-Up Stage tent.
  • Jared Leto dressing up as a tiger during 30 Seconds to Mars' farewell performance.
  • TWOL getting on TV, dressed as a banana, during Friendly Fires' set!
  • The fact that the campsite resembled something of a landfill site on Monday morning.
  • The mass sing-alongs between sets.
  • The sea of dancing people during Madness' performance of "Baggy Trousers", "Our House" and "Welcome to the House of Fun".
  • Everything about Bring Me The Horizon.
TWOL would like to thank everyone at Reading Festival for creating such an unforgettable atmosphere!
