Spanish alternative dance six-piece Crystal Fighters brought us heavy synths, folk instruments, drum loops and uplifting vocals to create the carefree party that was the stuff of our dreams. Bursting out onto the stage with a dramatic drum intro, these lot sure know how to get us in the grooving spirit.
Absolute classics from their 2010 album ‘Star of Love’, such as the first track ‘I Love London’ and finale ‘Plage’ get us reminiscing of summers gone by. Whilst newer tracks ‘LA Calling’ and ‘Love Is All I Got’ bang just as hard, with the crowd jumping together in unison. There’s positive vibes all round as they ask us to link up with our neighbours and to celebrate being in the moment on this last night of Reading 2019.
Crystal Fighters promise us they’ll be back – and they better be, because this was one hell of a crazy electronic-folk party and we want more.
