It's one week to go until the Reading/Leeds Festival, the grimiest weekend in the UK music calendar.

First headliner on the main stage in '71 was Arthur Brown – biggest song called Fire.

Fast-forward to 2009 and it's Kings Of Leon – biggest song called Sex On Fire.

Proof that the olde Reading Festival has simply got 'sexier' over the years. Or has it?

Here's MusicRadar's pick of the good, bad and sometimes quite ugly. Watch carefully before you pack that tent…

Dave Gahan / Mick Jones / Primal Scream get Loaded

Can you imagine the state of backstage after this lot had finished with it?!

Just weeks before the release of Nevermind, Nirvana's ferocious daytime set at Reading 1991 - featuring interpretive dancer Tony - is legendary. The year that followed would bring them unimaginable fame, fortune and darkness, not to mention a headline slot on the main stage.
