In August 2017, British indie-rock band Kasabian—led by Sergio Pizzorno following Tom Meighan's departure and at the peak of their tour supporting For Crying Out Loud (2017)—headlined Reading Festival, one of Britain's oldest festivals launched in 1971 at Little John's Farm in Reading as a platform for alternative rock among 90,000 attendees. Their 90-minute main stage set on August 25, captured in high quality, embodied the tour climax, where Chris Edwards' pulsing guitars and Ian Matthews' drums backed Pizzorno's vocal charisma, with guest Noel Fielding in vampire garb on "Vlad the Impaler" adding absurd charm. Featuring tracks like "Ill Ray (The King)", "You're in Love With a Psycho", "Club Foot", "L.S.F.", and "Fire", this show became a triumph of British indie-rock, turning the festival grounds into an arena of pure energy and mosh pits.
