Someone else commented: "WOWWWWW at the Reading and Leeds lineup what the f**!!!! Honestly Glastos better look similar because that’s the best lineup at a festival I’ve seen in years."
The festivals went ahead earlier this year with Liam Gallagher, Gerry Cinnamon, and Stormzy playing.
On site in August, there were NHS Covid vans offering festival goers their jabs as easy as getting a beer with pop-up clinics available throughout the weekend.
The country’s top GP, Dr Nikki Kanani, urged the hundreds of thousands music fans attending the events to protect themselves and others by adding the ‘vaccine tent’ to their festival itinerary if they have not already been jabbed.

The initiative came after figures showed more than half a million 16 and 17 year olds in England had been given their jab.
