Nu-metal heroes Limp Bizkit rock Reading Festival
See our brilliant photos of Fred Durst et al closing day one
While Mumford & Sons pulled a huge crowd to the main stage for their epic headline set, fans were spilling out of the NME/Radio One tent well into the field to catch a glimpse of Fred Durst and his rag-tag squadron of nu-metal heroes.
"We're gunna party like it's 1999," bellowed Durst arriving on stage, before rushing straight into the biggest hit 'Rollin'. From then on, Bizkit brought a real college frat party vibe - with their DJ scratching in hip-hop classics, intermittently blended with jammed riffs from Metallica and Guns N' Roses.
"I think it's time for some Limp Bizkit karaoke up in here," said Durst, before the biggest response of the night was saved for a riotious cover of Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name Of'.
