Festival goers at Reading Festival are facing a muddy Saturday after overnight downpours drenched the Richfield site and rain continued through the morning of day two.
US rap superstar Eminem will take the Reading Festival main stage tonight, as he headlines day two at Reading. The star is currently working on a new studio album, with Shady Records signings Slaughterhouse recently revealing to Gigwise that the album would have 'the element of surprise. Fans at the festival will be hoping to hear new music in his set, among his classic rap hits.
Also on the mainstay are Chase & Status and Foals - who Melvin Benn recently tipped as future headliners of Reading & Leeds, ahead of Rolling Stones, telling Gigwise that he only wanted bands who were 'relevant' to top the bill.
White Lies, Twin Atlantic, Earlwolf, The Blackout, Lower Than Atlantis and Mallory Knox.
Alt-J headline the NME / BBC Radio 1 stage, with performances from Jake Bugg, Tame Impala, Imagine Dragons, Johnny Marr and more making for an impressive line-up on the festival's second stage.
The Dance Stage boasts shows from Magnetic Man, A-Trak, Flux Pavilion, Redlight and Jagwar Ma, while Tomahawk, Sick Of It All and The Bronx top the bill on the Lock Up stage.
