There’s little NME loves more than festivals – especially when we get the opportunity to sit down with an artist, shoot the shit and grab a cheeky portrait or two.
We did just that with a bunch of performers at Reading Festival this year, from rapidly rising R&B rookies FLO to chaotic rap group Kneecap to Welsh pop-punkers Neck Deep. Have a look at our exclusive, intimate festival portraits, shot by photographer Andy Ford, below…
