We all know The Big Moon are something pretty special. Debut album ‘Love In The 4th Dimension’ confirmed that, showing the world a band stopping at nothing in their quest to create music to soundtrack your fondest moments. Performing at Reading Festival, that’s exactly what they treat their audience to.
What other band would pause their set to matchmake new friends they spot wearing the same Oasis t-shirt in the crowd? Where else would Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ fit so seamlessly in the middle of bonafide indie bangers? The answers are, probably none. Classic hits and already cemented favourites collide in an explosion of energy and enthusiasm – because that’s exactly what The Big Moon do best.
“It’s Friday! It’s half past four!” they yell as they take to the stage. Not that it would matter what the time is – wherever The Big Moon are, it’s cause for celebration. So that’s exactly what the crowd do. Songs like ‘Cupid’ and ‘Bonfire’ are as freewheeling as the performance is frenetic, while set closer ‘Sucker’ is elevated to the status of indie anthem. Putting on a show that’s bold, brash, and downright brilliant, there’s not a one who’d deny they’re a sucker for the band too.
