Ahead of the main event, the party fully starts on Thursday evening, with DJs performing on the Chevron and Festival Republic stages to ease you into the weekend ahead.

If you're attending Reading, you'll also get a bonus stage that twin festival Leeds doesn't – with The Smirnoff Stage giving you even more choice.

We understand it's hard to try and make sure you catch everyone you love, though, and that's where we come in with the full line-up set times so you can schedule exactly where you need to be and when.

Here's everything you need to know about where to find your favourite acts this weekend.
