Reading Festival Main Stage ‘Too Quiet’ for fans

reading too quietMost people would expect tents, sunshine and loud music at Reading Festival, but apparently this year this was not the case.

Many complained about the lack of decibels after such acts as Bloc Party, Metallica and Rage Against the Machine on the main stage this year, but festival organiser Melvin Benn said “we had the council on our backs all weekend, they insisted that we lowered the volume.”

Benn went on to assuer everyone that Reading will be back to its normal high volume next year.

What did you think of the volume of the bands at this years number one rock festival?

    FR still turned it up on occasions though and may face a bit of trouble from it.

    I believe council and FR will be in talks shortly regarding the sound.

    If you had some game you would find this out before hand and realise that Leeds is better because its in a field where theres no sound restrictions from the council!!,RATM and all the other bands were plenty load enough at Leeds!.
