The Reading & Leeds Festival line up is a scorcher this year (fingers crossed the bank holiday weekend weather will be too).
But it’s not the just amazing music we’re excited to see - the annual festival is up there with Glastonbury and Coachella when it comes to street style inspo (just no flower crowns, please).
And we haven’t even mentioned the fashion on stage - here are four artists whose clothes we want in our wardrobes, as much as their songs on our Spotify.
AlunaGeorge
Why We Love Them
Get dancing to the London duo’s unique electro-soul, and prepare to want to coordinate the rest of your festival outfits with your friends like vocalist Aluna Francis and her badass backing dancers.

Reading Festival: Friday 26 August, BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage
Leeds Festival: Saturday 27 August, BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage
Inheaven
Why We Love Them
Not only are the South London quartet impressive enough to get Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas’ seal of approval, bassist Chloe Little has the 70s-inspired wardrobe of our dreams.
