Festival Republic’s Melvin Benn reflected on the weekend just gone.

He said: “This year has been an incredible highlight for Reading and Leeds.

“Metallica brought us the largest production in the history of the festivals, whilst Mumford & Sons and The Libertines proved themselves worthy of their headline name.
