THE weather forecast for Reading, Leeds and Creamfields festival has been revealed with rain and thunderstorms set to hit.
Three of the UK's biggest festies are kicking off on Friday as revellers look forward to a long weekend of music.
After a brief spell of warm weather, Brits with tickets were hoping they could party in glorious sun and stay clear of camping in muddy damp fields.

According to the weather service, this is what each festival has in store over the Bank Holiday weekend.
