50 iconic moments from Reading and Leeds festival

Reading and Leeds festival is just over a week away, and there's a very good reason that all music fans are excited: it's the place where history is made. 

From its humble beginnings as the National Jazz and Blues festival, to the twin-site behemoth of music that it is today, no festival is held in the same regard as Reading and Leeds - seeing some of the most essential and career-defining performances from the likes of everyone from Nirvana and Metallica to Eminem, Muse, Biffy Clyro and beyond. 

Oh, there was also that time that Dephne and Celeste got bottled...

Anyway, to celebrate the most memorable moments in R&L history, the good people at Atlantis Property have put together this handy infographic for us. 

Reading and Leeds festival takes place from 21 - 24 August, with performances from Arctic Monkeys, Queens Of The Stone Age, Paramore, Blink 182 and many more. For more information, visit here
