"16 years from now, we knew we would be playing Reading and Leeds festival", jokes Steve Holmes, the guitarist of American Football. Gigwise had a chat with the emo legends about festivals and collaborations.

Watch our interview with American Football at Reading below

Playing for the first time at any UK festival, American Football performed an amazing and emotional set to a relatively small but attentive audience. They seemed chuffed anyone turned up at all.

We caught up with Mike Kinsella and Steve Holmes to talk about their festival experiences, dream headliners, how their UK dates have been and, most importantly, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit.

For the record, Gigwise does not agree with the ties made between Limp Bizkit fans and methamphetamine.
