Marina And The Diamonds covered Late Of The Pier at the Reading Festival this afternoon (August 29).

Claiming that her band were not usually "a party band", Welsh-born and London-based Marina Diamandis and her three-piece backing band performed a version of 'Space And The Woods', Late Of The Pier's debut single.

As well as admitting that their songs were sometimes "depressing", Diamandis pointed out that they were playing to a "smaller but louder" crowd than at yesterday's Leeds Festival.

The band will be taking part in the NME Radar Tour this September alongside Golden Silvers, Yes Giantess and Local Natives.

Marina And The Diamonds played:

'Girls'
'Seventeen'
'I'm Not A Robot'
'Space And The Woods'
'Obsessions'
'Shampain'
'Mowgli's Road'
