Reading Festival headliners from the 90s

Dermot charts the headliners at the Reading Festival from 1990-99 - a time with no big screens, only cash sales, no phones, and a stellar line-up every year. Expect some Pixies, Beastie Boys, Nirvana and Stone Roses.

Produced by Ora et Labora for BBC Radio 2.
