Organisers say young people are desperate for freedom – but admit they haven’t yet been able to get insurance
Young people are “desperate to be released” from the tyranny of parents and Zoom, said the organisers of Reading and Leeds festival as they confirmed the event would go ahead this year.
Festival Republic, organisers of the two-city weekender, one of the UK’s biggest outdoor events, said the event would go ahead following the government’s roadmap to reopening the country from Covid lockdown, tweeting: “Following the government’s recent announcement, we can’t wait to get back to the fields this summer. LET’S GO.”
