One thing that can always surprise you at festivals is just how bad your personal hygiene can get, but aside from that – it’s when artists on the line up join each other for a rendition of their song. We don’t know what will happen until the weekend, but to get us in the mood we’ve scoured the Internet to find Reading Fest artists, covering Reading Fest artists. It’s like cover inception and we’re 100% here for it.
