The Reading and Leeds festivals, one of England's largest music events, faced significant challenges this year, particularly during Lana Del Rey's headlining set on August 24. Del Rey arrived late and attempted to condense her performance, but her set was cut short by five minutes due to a production error, prompting an apology from the festival organizers. In addition to Del Rey's issues, other performers like Reneé Rapp faced technical difficulties caused by severe weather conditions. Fans expressed disappointment over sound quality, with complaints that loud techno music from another stage drowned out performances. Despite the setbacks, there are indications Del Rey may return to the stage on August 25. The festival continues to attract attention, but the production problems have marred the experience for some attendees.
