FESTIVAL DIARIES

Hosting the main stage

Huw Stephens

By Huw Stephens

Radio 1 DJ Huw is hosting the Main stage at Reading this year. Watch his video diary to find out what he gets up to.

Access All Areas

12.15pm Friday

It's the first day and I'll be on the main stage all weekend. The best thing is you get to see all of the backstage set-up - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Razorlight they'll all be setting up here.

Visit to the artist toilets

13.30pm Friday

I headed over to the merch stall to buy a programme so I'll know what's going on. Then I'm off to introduce The Long Blondes ...via the artists toilets.

Where are Gossip?

15.30pm Friday

It is just after Gogol Bordello and we are waiting for The Gossip to arrive. They haven't turned up yet and they are on in about 10-15 minutes... Blimey.

Let's hear it for Jimmy Eat World!

16.45pm Friday

Follow me as I hurtle onstage to introduce the Jimmy Eat World. Interpol, Maximo Park and Razorlight are yet to play. Guess who gets the boos.

Unconfirmed rumours

20.20pm Friday

It's been a really good day watching all the bands from the side of the stage. There was a rumour the Foo Fighters would be performing...
