Nirvana make Reading popular in 1992

It was bands like Nirvana that really made every band in the world dream of playing Reading.
Dave Grohl always goes on about how it was the dream festival for them.
In 1992, the grunge pioneers headlined the Sunday night as one of the first American acts to take on the big slot.
Other bands that weekend included Manic Street Preachers, Public Enemy and Sex Pistols star John Lydon – better known as Johnny Rotten – and his side band Public Image Limited.
