Reading fest 'could expand' abroad
Melvin Benn, boss of the Reading and Leeds festivals, has said he's looking at the opportunity of expanding the festival outside the UK.
Taking place annually on the August bank holiday weekend the event attracts 153,500 music fans across two sites.
Speaking to Newsbeat Benn said: "I don't think there's a great deal of opportunity to expand it in the UK but therefore by default there could be an opportunity overseas.
He added: "It's always something I'm looking at but it's certainly not a plan as such."
This year's festivals are headlined by Guns N' Roses, Arcade Fire and Blink 182.
