Reading Festival is officially well under way, and Foals were in charge of closing things on Friday (26 August), with their first ever headline set at the festival.
As expected, the ‘What Went Down’ rockers didn’t disappoint, delighting the crowds with renditions of their biggest hits, from all four of their studio albums.

Obviously though, they weren’t the only ones to take to the main stage and other acts to perform included co-headliners Disclosure, Chvrches and the mighty Boy Better Know.
Elsewhere on-site, festival-goers enjoyed sets from the likes of Giggs, Spanish rockets Hinds, Dinosaur Pile-Up and Pulled Apart By Horses.
