Reading & Leeds - they may not be the last festivals of the year, but they’re certainly that point of the year where we start to think about putting away our sunglasses and buying a coat. Still, there are few better ways to say goodbye to the Summer.There’s always one band on one of the smaller stages that causes a crush - this year we’re backing Alt-J, which is why they’re on our cover. Even Harry Styles likes ‘em. Elsewhere you’ll find our guide to the acts you just can’t miss at the annual rock jamboree.We’ve also grabbed a few words with pop princess in the making Jessie Ware, rent-a-gobs of the moment Spector, and the mind numbingly brilliant Purity Ring. We’re in Micachu’s Docklands lock up, introduce you to the amazing Charli XCX, and have chats with Twin Shadow and Yeasayer. Enjoy.Grab it on the streets or via diymag.com now.
