Welcome back to day two of Reading Festival 2012. In moments, Kasabian

will be on that Main Stage. should see the spy camera. Can we

see the ramp? They will be walking up the ramp. That is their dressing

room. They will be making their way from there to the stage. Let's go

back to the first band of the day, a special Green Day performance.

# I am one of those # Neurotic to the bone

# Sometimes my mind # It all keeps adding up

# She says it's lack of sex # And quit my whining

# Sometimes my mind plays # It all keeps adding up

# Am I just paranoid? Yeah, yeah, yeah

# Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

# It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up!

That was a blinding start

That was a blinding start to day two. Green Day earlier on today.

Brilliant. Look, backstage on the Main Stage we have our spy camera.

You can see Tom from Kasabian. shades are on! This is all live

right now. When they start, you will watch their set live here on

BBC Three. They told us earlier, they are looking forward to this.

It was a big moment. It was eight years ago that these guys performed

at Reading Festival. This is a huge moment for them. We talked about it

earlier. I went to the show on Monday night. It was at Brixton

Academy. Unbelievable to see them in such a small venue. Unbelievably

brilliant. We cannot wait. A lot of people are very excited out there.

Florence had a great set to get the crowd warmed up and ready to go.

Now a lot of people are stood at the front there waiting for

Kasabian. It is a shame that it was raining for Florence. She did great.

She embraced the rain! I think the rain would help Kasabian. It is

moody and that is what is amazing. It was like it was raining the

other night because of the sweat! I want to go back down - I would go

to the front. You go for it! I will hold the fort. There is Tom getting

ready. The most stylish man in rock. I loved how Tom came in earlier and

said, "We deserve it!" They really do. They have worked the circuit

live for so long. They are one of the tightest bands around in the UK.

It will be a great set tonight. Without further ado, your Saturday

night headliners at Reading 2012 with some flashing, strobing lights,

That was a euphoric gig moment. There's going to be more, don't

worry. Lots of people Tweeting about them. Isla says, Serge has so

much style and skill at playing the guitar, is there nothing that man

can't do. The answer is no, he's a generalious. You said, if I was a

man, I would dress like Serge. would, he's so stylish. Maybe I

should change my style to being like him. I would advise you not to

do that?! That was incredible. Chelsea on Twitter, I'm warming up

for Leeds by singing out loud and dancing to Kasabian. Get ready for

tomorrow you lot. I've watched loads of Reading on BBC Three says

Scott. Kasabian have topped it all off. They've been ready for this

gig for the whole eight years since they first played here. They know

exactly what they are doing up there. It's incredible. They are so

confident on stage now. When he was up here, he said, we deserve it and

it's so true. Wonderful attitude to have when you know you have worked

hard and you prove to the crowds they know what they are doing.

What a great headline set. It meant a lot to the band. Having a hug and

could be the best Reading Festival line-up ever." I agree. A lot of

the artists think this is their favourite festival of the year.

So earlier on, if you missed Florence, it was a wonderful moment

on the Main Stage. Let's relive one of her tracks. This is Never Let Me

# Looking up from underneath # Reflections still look

# And it's peaceful in the deep # No need to pray no need to speak

# A thousand miles # And the arms of the ocean

# And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me,

# But the arms of the ocean delivered me

# Though the pressure's hard to take It's the only way I can escape

# It seems a heavy choice to make But now I am under all

# And it's breaking over me

# A thousand miles down to the sea bed

# Found the place to rest my head

# Never let me go, never let me go

# Never let me go, never let me go

# And the arms of the ocean are carrying me

# So cold and so sweet

# And all this devotion was rushing out of me

# And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me

# But the arms of the ocean delivered me

# And it's over, and I'm going under

# But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in

# I'm slipping underneath So cold and so sweet

# And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold

# And all this devotion I never knew at all

# And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released

# In the arms of the ocean deliver me

# Never let me go, never let me go

# Never let me go, never let me go

# Never let me go, never let me go
