Rock titans Muse refuse to stand down as they put on the biggest blockbuster show of their career to date.

Bringing down the curtain on his dream show, Puma Blue is a man of little words tonight for good reason, because he lets the music do the talking for him. Apart from the occasional softly spoken gentle “Thank you’s” and “Are you okays”, Allen’s classy, exquisite and timeless appeal as a live musician is second to none. Remember when we claimed Puma Blue to be an enigma? Well this is what we meant.

From their humble beginnings on the BBC Music Introducing stage to making their main stage debut at Reading Festival this year, we spoke to hometown boys The Amazons about their recent collab with local football team Reading F.C. and how they mentally prepare for something as daunting as a hometown festival slot.

With the dark sarcastic humour that defines Kerr and Thatcher's personalities, Kerr at one-point mid set joking “My name is Gary as you know, so we will move onto my good friend Ben Thatcher on the drums” and the talent of a duo that are just masters of their craft, Royal Blood went back to their small venue roots for an electric performance at Camden’s Electric Ballroom. And as always, they didn’t disappoint. 

Outside of Eilish mania, there was little room for exhaustion as that turned to energy with hometown boys The Amazon’s opening Main Stage West and Bedford boys Don Broco back to set Reading ablaze. This is Sunday at Reading Festival.

It was baby boomer day at Reading a fest, as The Killers brought their die-hard older fans to Reading. Elsewhere, The 1975 celebrated the upcoming tenth anniversary of their debut in full, SOFTPLAY surprised with a raucous secret set and so much more. This is day two at Reading Festival. 

As we head down to Richfield Avenue for another jam-packed year, it’s clear to see Reading Fest still has rock at its beating heart, but sometimes its heartbeat flutters into other territories in the name of its teenage demographic in attendance.

On 'RUCKUS!', Movements have made a disturbance. A chaotic, all over the place album lashing out with anger but basking in love. Movements, as always, are bringing you along for yet another emotionally charged ride.

Learning how to live whilst navigating the difficulties life throws your way is hard enough sometimes. But letting go of those bad times in order to pursue a more positive future is a completely different lesson to learn. On their fifth full-length, 'LEARNING HOW TO LIVE AND LET GO', Aberdeen born indie-rockers The XCERTS are our teachers, parents, friends and peers, helping us through the trials and tribulations of life and coming out better on the other side, as we let go of the baggage preventing us from living our lives.

Since they released their stunning 2022 album 'In Stasis', Monuments have been showing no signs of slowing down. Ever. Since then, they have dropped a brand new single and have been firm-favourites on international support tours, most recently supporting legends Leprous on their UK and European run. Back to their Radar stomping ground to headline the second stage on Friday, we sat down with the lovely Andy Cizek and Werner Erkelens to talk all about the band's latest single 'Nefarious', merch cuts, breaking Download Festival and why they love Radar Festival so damn much.
