Third and final installment of our Reading & Leeds Festival recommendations. This time it’s the turn of Sunday (Friday for you, Leeds), the final day over at Reading. But don’t worry, it’s not over yet you still have all these to look forward to!

Up and coming UK pop-punk band Roam are my first pick for Sunday’s Lock Up stage. Having supported some big names from the pop-punk scene recently, including Knuckle Puck and Sum 41 on the most recent Kerrang Tour. They’re on to big things! Next up we have another pop-punk favourite, Modern Baseball. Fresh from their album release ‘Holy Ghost’ in May this year, this US 4-piece have added a whole bunch of new songs to their back catalogue. As the stage’s sub headliners for Reading’s final day we have The King Blues. The London trio made a comeback last year after taking breaking up in 2012. Now with new album ‘Off with Their Heads’ it looks like The King Blues are back and not going anywhere just yet. Think ska meets rock meets folk meets someone with a whole lot to say about today’s politics and you have The King Blues.

Singer-songwriter Isaac Gracie has been hotly tipped throughout the indie scene this year. Having released his debut EP ‘Songs From My Bedroom’ earlier in the year, the London boy has signed up to major label Virgin EMI and is set to go down a storm this festival season. Want to find out the hype behind this newcomer? Festival Republic stage is where you’ll find him. On a similar indie-rocker type level, Clean Cut Kid are my next choice for Festival Republic. Their songs have that upbeat jazzy vibe that scream summer, think Best Coast. And for that reason alone we’ll be heading down to the tent to check them out on our Sunday afternoon. And finally, to take this stage home for the weekend we have The Temper Trap. Although they face fierce competition from the other stage headliners, you couldn’t be blamed for opting for this indie dream of a band. ‘Sweet Disposition’…we needn’t say more.

Off over to my resident favourite stage now, NME/BBC R1. Starting off Sunday’s selections are Basement. Add another pop-punk session to your schedule, these boys are back with a new album, having been away for 4 years since their last full length release. Get down there to hear what you’ve been missing out on. Spring King are a firm radio favourite, with plenty of daytime plays and Live Lounge visits under their belts. They are so popular amongst radio giants in fact, the band’s single ‘City’ was the first track Zane Lowe played on his new show when he moved over to Beats 1.

Next up, Deaf Havana, and I have to admit some bias here as they’re one of my favourite bands. However, I think it reflects well on how good their live shows are that I’ll catch them at a festival despite having seen them many times, even if they clash with someone else I want to see. Things had been a bit quiet on the DH front recently, until new single ‘Sing’ dropped last month, and it is a tune. I’ll leave the video below, let me know if you agree with me! If you’re looking for a fun, energetic set to add to your Sunday then Rat Boy is the one. Fronted by 20-year-old Jordan Cardy, who is becoming quite the front-man, Rat Boy are returning to Reading & Leeds to show off the amazing year they’ve had. The songs are catchy and they get the crowd going, just what you want to see in the NME/BBC R1 tent.

For the final headliners of this fine tent we have The Wombats followed by The 1975. Staring with The Wombats, their songs optimize the summer festival anthems. They played to seriously packed out Festival Republic tent last year, rivaling metal giants Metallica. This year I expect no less, they always draw a huge crowd and an even bigger sing along. I’d get down to this one a little early. And then following that, you can enjoy The 1975 right where you very stand. This year’s release of ‘I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It’ put the Manchester 4-piece firmly back on the map after much anticipation for the follow up record. But it didn’t disappoint, and has bought around huge opportunities for the lads including their massive Glastonbury set and even bigger arena tour scheduled for this winter.

To the main stage we go, and opening Sunday’s events are US pop-punk group State Champs. Another quality pop-punk addition to Sunday to keep your energy up. State Champs are a less heavy option than some of their genre counterparts so if that’s more your scene then go watch these guys open up the stage. It’s going to be a big one for them.

Moving on to the mainstage sub-headliner now is The Vaccines. Playing their first R&L set for a few years now, it’s time to catch these indie-hit makers. Now with 3 albums and more tunes that define the indie-rock scene, this set is guaranteed to be filled with your favourites. Festivals songs at their finest.

Sunday night offers us another double headline slot. And with these two names, R&L are really spoiling us. First up, American pop-rockers favourites Fall Out Boy. Now they are one of those bands that everyone listened to growing up, so no matter who you’re with everyone’s going to know a hit or two. On top of that, they always put on a huge show, what more could you ask for.

And finally, your last act of Reading Festival 2016 has to be the absolute giants that are Biffy Clyro. Back to headline again after their 2013 triumph, Biffy really are one of the best live bands around. Sometimes a new album release ahead of a big show like this can be a bit of a worry. But on hearing ‘Ellipsis’ we have absolutely nothing to worry about, the album is as huge as previous albums Biffy have put out. With the addition of this new album material, I’m sure it will bring even more out of Biffy Clyro than ever before. This is a very exciting prospect, and what a perfect way to bring the weekend to a close.

There we have it, the final picks for Reading’s final day. Grab your mates and your wellies and enjoy your festival weekend. I hope some of these artists will be part of your experience. If you do catch any of them, let us know how they were!
