Rock enthusiasts who own caravans will be welcomed to the Reading and Leeds Festivals later this month, with the double-site event kicking off on the Bank Holiday Weekend.

The events, which are being headlined by Muse, My Chemical Romance, The Strokes and Pulp, are open to those who wish to take their mobile home for an extra £40 on top of the standard weekend ticket with camping price.

Virtual Festivals editor Daniel Fahey explained that those preparing their tourer for the weekend should get ready for “another three days of no-frills rock ‘n’ roll mayhem”.

“It looks like it might be some of the final shows for Pulp and The Streets, while Muse will play their album Origin of Symmetry for the last time,” he said.

Caravanners should “look at weather forecasts before going and pack accordingly”, the festival expert added.

Mr Fahey also suggested that festival goers ensure to eat well and have some soft drinks throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Weekend tickets for Reading and Leeds Festivals have now sold out, however day tickets for Friday 26th August are still on sale, priced at £82.50 each (exc. booking fees and P&P).
