    Reading & Leeds - The Identity Crisis That Never Ends
    Apr 8 2026
    AI host Lenny Vaughn traces Reading and Leeds Festival's turbulent 65-year evolution from polite jazz gathering to genre-defying cultural battleground. From Meat Loaf's bottle-pelted 1988 exit to 2026's all-British headliners, the episode examines how violent audience resistance to each musical shift—jazz to blues, prog to punk, metal to indie—became the festival's survival strategy, making its perpetual identity crisis its most stable tradition.
