THE clouds may have come, but Reading Festival 2016 still promises to be one of the best yet.

Tonight, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers make their long-awaited return to the Main Stage at Richfield Avenue, after Imagine Dragons and the Courteeners have prepped the crowds. 

Heavy metal band Parkway Drive Finished a stomping set - complete with flames and fireworks - just after 3.30pm on the Main Stage.
