So, Saturday of Reading review! This was the day I was most looking forward to as one of my favourite bands, Tame Impala played that day and they are still my favourite live band after seeing them for the second time! Their set was of course considerably shorter than when they had played at Hammersmith Apollo, but that didn't stop them from still being amazing!
I'll go chronologically now, the first band I saw was Palma Violets, and their entire set was brilliant and energy filled, Chilli Jenson looked like some sort of wizard that was controlling us what with all the weird hand movements and everything. I was most looking forward to Palma Violets that day because I've never seen them live before and I've been listening to them a lot recently. Anyway back to their set: Chilli Jenson actually went into the crowd, plus Alana from Haim was in the crowd on someone's shoulders at one point! So basically a fun gig. Next was Splashh, fun and lots of moshing, but not as good as Palma Violets. I caught the very end of Imagine Dragons, and I kinda regret not having seen all their set as they were good, plus my favourite youtubers Dan and Phil introduced them on stage! Ah well, at least I got to see them perform Radioactive.
Then next it was Tame Impala, who I've already talked about (my favourite band from Saturday). I managed to catch 4 of Jake Bugg's songs after that, and luckily he played my favourite song by him ("Seen it All"), before I had to rush off to see Eminem. And yes, Eminem. Eminem was one of my favourite artists as a kid so I was so fricking excited when he came on stage, even though I was incredibly far away as there were so many more people than there had been for Green Day. People said he was miming, but I like to think he wasn't. Highlight of the set was when he sang "Stan", and Dido came on stage and we all went absolutely mental. The only problem was for me personally that there were too many new songs which just aren't as good as his old ones to be honest, and there was also zero on stage chemistry between him and Dido, but it was still Eminem so it was a pivotal moment all the same and I did enjoy singing lyrics which I obviously didn't hear properly when I was little so I was just making the lyrics up.
Anyway, overall Saturday was a great day, some great bands and the ones I was most looking forward to didn't disappoint!
Day 3 next Monday!
