Pendulum got the Reading Festival going early, DJing at Club NME last night (August 21).
The Australian drum and bass group took to the decks at the Rivermead Leisure Centre as fans queued around the block to get into the pre-festival party.
Earlier Holy Fuck had played a live set warming the crowd up for the all-nighter.
Club NME continues throughout the Reading Festival and is free for festival wristband holders.
