Despite the sweltering heat, Mayday Parade kicked off Sunday’s rock-filled afternoon on the main stage with a set spanning their 13-year career.
Hits such as “Jamie All Over” from their 2007 debut studio album thrilled the crowd of hardcore fans, but also their cover of Mr Brightside by fellow American rockers The Killers, encouraged crowd interaction from beyond the main stage area, as passers-by danced and sung along to the rock classic.
With “Mayday Parade is an emotion” projected on screen behind them, the band were full of emotion, thanking their dedicated fans for their continued support over the last decade.
As they closed their set they left the main stage warmed up, in every sense, for the abundance of rock acts yet to grace the main stage on the final day of Reading 2019.
