Reading & Leeds boss Melvin Benn wistfully tells NME on the eve of what would have been one of the loudest weekends of the year.

Oh, what we’d give to be up at Bramham Park or down at Little John’s Farm right now to see a little more musical history being made.

Still, Benn has no time to dwell on the past.“There have been more Reading Festivals than Glastonbury Festivals, but we don’t celebrate our heritage in the same way,” he continues. “Reading and Glastonbury started in the same year, but we don’t take time off.

There have been a lot more Readings in that sense. Nothing compares with Glastonbury, but we’re more about looking forwards than back.”When R&L 2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19, Benn and his team returned to the drawing board.
