As part of our tribute to the summer festivals around the world, we are going to have a two-part presentation of the Reading & Leeds Festival, the most historic and, together with Glastonbury, one of the most important rock festivals in Europe. In the first part of the presentation we are dealing with this year's event that is taking place between the 28th and 30th August, and in the second part we shall try to give you a taste of the festival's atmosphere through personal experiences from visits to Reading between 1992 and 2006.
