I spent an hour in the morning before the festival arena opened strolling up the banks of the Thames.  The festival operate a river ferry service a 10 minute journey down the Thames to a nearby Tesco supestore which is great if you want to stock up on cheap booze (oh and food of course…).       wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_031.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_010.jpg     wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_054.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_055.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_036.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Fri_atmos1_062.jpg   Arctic Monkeys: wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_003.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_007.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_019.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_026.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_018.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_008.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_021.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_024.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_037.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_036.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_041.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat_Arctics_042.jpg   Pulled Apart by Horses which kicked the day off on main stage with a proper livener: wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_004.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_015.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_017.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_009.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_007.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingFestSat2_019.jpg       wpid-20140823_ReadingSatAtmos4_007.jpg   wpid-20140823_ReadingSatAtmos4_001.jpg   Here I was asked by the festival PR team to cover a secret Jake Bugg set from the stage, nice to get that access: wpid-20140823_ReadingFest_Jake_Bugg_066.jpg
