Those twin veterans of the UK festival scene, Reading and Leeds, descended on their respective English cities this past weekend. Reading's festivities, depicted here, boasted the likes of the Raconteurs, Conor Oberst, Bloc Party, the Last Shadow Puppets, Vampire Weekend, CSS, Yeasayer, Crystal Castles, Simian Mobile Disco, and loads more, plus what will unfortunately be one of the final Be Your Own Pet gigs ever. Relive the good times in photo form below.
