Reading Festival explain reason behind Main Stage low sound

Organisers say 'atmospheric conditions' effected volume limits

This has been a problem for at least the last 6 years. As i recall, a residents committee complained around 2002ish and the volume on the main stage has been slashed ever since. all this nonsense about atmospheric conditions is a smokescreen. Even if conditions were perfect, the noise level would be too low for the vast majority of the crowd that isn't in close proximity to the speaker stacks at each side of the stage. I used to be a huge Reading fan, but the limits on volume has ruined the experience for me. I don't want to be able to talk in hushed tones and still be heard above my favourite bands! If you want to hear how loud a main stage should be, try the Orange Stage at the Roskilde festival in Denmark. Now that is how it should be.
