You Me At Six are getting in the mood for playing this weekend’s (22-24 August) Reading And Leeds Festivals. Enjoying their highest spot on the bill – third from top on Blink-182’s day – drummer Dan Flint has shared with Q the festival anthems he and his bandmates will be listening to backstage to get them in the mood before taking to the Main Stage.
Oasis – Morning Glory
“Huge tune, huge band. Even their headline shows were as big as festivals.”
The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army
“Even when Jack White isn’t playing people still sing this tune at a festival.”
Coldplay – Fix You
“If you’ve ever heard this at a festival you would have been hugging all your friends with a lager in hand.”
Daft Punk – One More Time
“If they ever do the Pyramid within the Pyramid at Glasto I will fully embrace the festival life for one weekend.”
Foo Fighters – Best Of You
“Huge anthem sing-a-long!”
Coldplay – Yellow
“Another one from Coldplay. They are the masters of the spine-tingling anthems.”
Reef – Place Your Hands
“From the first moment you hear the riff everyone will be screaming.”
Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody
“Another one of those moments where you’ll remember exactly where you were, with who you were with.”
Arctic Monkeys – Old Yellow Bricks
“This tune is similar to The White Stripes in the way the crowd chants the riff. Very festival!”
Chase & Status – Blind Faith
“Saw this band last year at Reading and this song went off!”
