All went well at Reading and Leeds at the weekend, with around 120,000 festival-goer types taking in headliners Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters and Pixies. Mean Fiddler boss Melvin Benn rounded off the weekend by telling reporters: "We have had a musically fantastic weekend, blessed with glorious sunshine and happy crowds. We have also had significant reductions in crime, medical casualties and fires. It's been a great weekend."
In addition to the headliners, the events saw performances from Marilyn Manson, Iggy and the Stooges and Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, Razorlight, Babyshambles and Juliette and The Licks and many many more.
