As this weekend was the August bank holiday - marking the Reading and Leeds festivals - I've been enjoying the various sets available on the BBC iPlayer as a magnificently lazy way of sampling live music without needing to actually summon the motivation to leave your house.
There were lots of great sets - Blink 182 were typically energetic, although it's worrying to think that some of their songs featured (a couple from Cheshire Cat, for example) were released nearly 20 years ago - meaning that probably many of those watching weren't even alive at the time. A worrying thought for a band you've grown up with! The 1975 looked particularly energetic, although didn't seem to play as long as some others, while another favourite of mine was the excellent set from Imagine Dragons. For both of these I'm looking forward to see what their second album is going to turn out like, having enjoyed their first offerings and heard some teasers in this.
