Definitely, Maybe The Night Of Our Lives – Sunday At Reading Festival 2024
After two days of great music, the last day had a lot to live up to. I started the day at the BBC Introducing Stage to mix things up. Daydreamers took to the stage with their youthful pop to a surprisingly large crowd. The light-hearted songs were very reminiscent of The 1975, with the charismatic frontman, powerful drums and bass lines, and the 80s-style guitar accompaniment. There was a good mixture of songs some of the crowd knew, and their new single which despite having a slower beat, was very well received. It is clear that this band are headed for good things as they were naturals on the stage and the crowd loved every second.
