+Eleanor Rigby festivals are usually like this. Very rare that you see people filming sets. This was unbelievable though! Would do anything to relive it :)
+Michael Gill I was 4 rows from the front bang splat in the middle... did you get affected by the pushing at the front? We all got pushed over... like off our feet
Yilmaz Anonymous yeah I fell right over, got crushed the shit out of but wouldn't change a second, it was all of that which made it the best act in terms of atmosphere, the crowd was fucking mental
+Bobby Drexler should of seen it at Cardiff last night mate, holy fuck, sweating my tits off after the first song, people crowd surfing, 6 mosh pits at the same time!
Supposed to be studying for my summer exams but then I was suddenly hit with memories of their gig I saw 4 days ago. Would do anything to be back in the Olympia
Aw man. I love it when it's just the crowd that sings and the singer holds the microphone to the audience and their face just has that look like "wow these are my lyrics and these people know them. Wow" and it's a really beautiful thing. Idk it's weird but it's so cute.
+chris hamer they played it when I saw them... but if you check out the Glastonbury set, they didn't play it there. so I guess they only play it sometimes.
at glaston the set list was cut short... that's the case for every band that isn't on the night headliner. they made it a point to play it in reading though, first song... got it out of the way, and kicked off a great set!
I think what makes this band so great( apart from the music) is the fact that they are all so down to earth and not phased by any of it. Just from watching this and being at the leeds set, you can see that catfish are massive but you can also see that this is only the beginning and they are going to get bigger and bigger. Van and the lads have no idea how good they are and look so happy/ full of disbelief at the amount of people that know their lyrics/ love their songs and I think that this is amazing. Love you lads, I'm so happy for you x
amen to that. Their set and the 9:30 Club in Washington DC was absolutely colossal and was like a religious experience to me. Bob nodded at me and Larry even signed my shirt! Great to see a humble, working class band get what they deserve. Mark my words if their 2nd album is better than or equal to The Balcony, the lads are gonna fucking play Knebworth. They're gonna influence youth culture for sure just like what The Stone Roses and Oasis accomplished. Love ya Catfish & the Bottlemen 👏👏
Went Reading again this year. Many acts I liked and were looking forward to. Was at this set last year. Not a single set came close to this Catb from 2015. Honestly don't know if I will see a festival set as good as this again! Whenever I see one I compare it to this!
So true! My favourite band, best night of my life, screaming along to my favourite band drunk with my mates! Never will forget this set, it gives me goosebumps haha
I saw these guys back in February and Van was surprised the audience even knew the titles of their songs. And now the crowd is singing the lyrics back to them. I'm so happy to see how far they've come in such a short amount of time.
Cutest thing when Van just laughs because he's in disbelief as to how many people are screaming their lyrics back at them!❤️ shows how down to earth they are!❤️
The atmosphere when I saw them love was amazing bouncing from start to finish with everyone knowing practically all the words great bands and one of the best I have seen live
Imagine only releasing one album and filling out a tent so much that people are watching from outside the tent at one of the biggest festivals in the world and everyone knows your lyrics.
I actually met these guys at Todhills services on the M6. They were sorting out their gear on the grass then putting it back in the van ( transit long wheel base ) before going to a gig, pure rock n roll. Any ways they seemed like nice bunch of guys and I was pleasantly surprised to see them a few years later playing Reading. Good songs, hard work, result!!!
Was here! The best set over the whole weekend, waited so long to see them and finally did. No exaggeration, that was probably the best night of my life, the atmosphere was mental, just watch the beginning of homesick for example, it's mental. Love these guys and watching this gives me goosebumps!
I'm an American and I agree with you. All the gigs in the US that I've seen everyone has their phones out! It's so annoying! Enjoy the fucking gig and don't worry about a fucking picture!
maybe I haven't watched all their other recorded shows but this one will always be my favourite, reminds me why I was fucking obsessed with them back then.
+Jonathan O Well Noel I supposedly a solo artist but I'm a massive fan love catfish and the bottlemen but noel is in a class of hi own atm saw him at radio x and he was brilliant. If noel is a solo artist catfish and the bottlemen are the best if high flying birds are a band then high flying birds are the best imo
Hahaha me at 5.24, this was literally the best fucking night of my life, I was too happy, I screamed the words so hard I think I'm permanently damaged. I love you catfish so much, and I intend to be at the front of every coming concert until my voice breaks forever thank you for being so amazing
I was here too haha! I agree best night of my life, screaming along to every word of my favourite band. Watching this gives me goosebumps, like reading was so good ahhhhhh
Saw them recently at Kendal Calling, was so mental that security was pulling people over the fence and giving out water to keep everyone safe! Best gig of my life
I've been following this band since a very long time like more than a year and its really frustrating because I'll never see them live because of where I live and also I'm poor so I can't travel to anywhere they're having concerts so yeah my life is a nightmare
Hesitant Alien they went to play here at my city 3x this yr and i hate myself for missing it just bc ive became a fan just months ago so yeah my life is also a nightmare but in different degree
Jaicel Asegurado Oh im sorry, but You know, if they played 3 shows in your town this year then they will surely come back next year, don't worry! Im from Poland so there is not even a slight chance of me seeing them here
I wish I was part of that crowd. You can tell that everyone's enjoying the performance plus they get to witness the band's passion while they're on stage. Hopefully they'll have tours in Asia, I've been dying to see them for years:(
It was my second time at Reading festival that year and I can safely say that out of all the bands I've seen there, these guys were absolutely something else.
im sorry but this was way better than their headline set this year. They actually seemed happy to be playing reading and leeds that year and this year just felt as if they’d rather be somewhere else doing something else
I love how there's so many people with their hands up instead of having their phones up
+sam adan Same! Probs because the bbc tend to film a ton of the sets anyway tbh xD
+Eleanor Rigby festivals are usually like this. Very rare that you see people filming sets. This was unbelievable though! Would do anything to relive it :)
Brit things
It was because of FIFA that I discovered this band. And I'm loving them like no other!
Hahahaha same
Franz Escuzar same
hahahahah me too
hahahahhahahhahah me too
Franz Escuzar Same
That's a proper crowd, going crazy, love it
+Bobby Drexler I was right on the barrier and it was fucking insane, best act of the weekend in terms of atmosphere!
+Michael Gill I was 4 rows from the front bang splat in the middle... did you get affected by the pushing at the front? We all got pushed over... like off our feet
Yilmaz Anonymous yeah I fell right over, got crushed the shit out of but wouldn't change a second, it was all of that which made it the best act in terms of atmosphere, the crowd was fucking mental
+Bobby Drexler You should see the bit too far to the left for the camera, we were just sprinting round moshpits.
+Bobby Drexler should of seen it at Cardiff last night mate, holy fuck, sweating my tits off after the first song, people crowd surfing, 6 mosh pits at the same time!
studying physics < watching catfish
+Bede Prince Lol! I should be studying...
+Bede Prince Best comment here
Haha suppose to be doing my English term paper, but instead binge watching Catfish videos in anticipation of The Ride
Supposed to be studying for my summer exams but then I was suddenly hit with memories of their gig I saw 4 days ago. Would do anything to be back in the Olympia
Catfish are sick live!
Aw man. I love it when it's just the crowd that sings and the singer holds the microphone to the audience and their face just has that look like "wow these are my lyrics and these people know them. Wow" and it's a really beautiful thing. Idk it's weird but it's so cute.

+Cameron McLintock So underrrated

+Cameron McLintock they play it all the time?
+chris hamer they played it when I saw them... but if you check out the Glastonbury set, they didn't play it there. so I guess they only play it sometimes.

I swear Van is the coolest man on the planet.
Gilly No.4 nah Liam Gallagher is
no alex rice is
He could beat the shit out of me and I’d feel honoured
Yea nah it’s gotta be Liam to be honest
InstaBlaster.
It's similar with Oasis and Arctic Monkeys when they first came out, cool band + interesting style (of music) + fucking bangers = proper fans
I think what makes this band so great( apart from the music) is the fact that they are all so down to earth and not phased by any of it. Just from watching this and being at the leeds set, you can see that catfish are massive but you can also see that this is only the beginning and they are going to get bigger and bigger.

So true ☺️☺️

+Andrew Koh Couldn't agree more! Oh my god I'm so jealous that Larry signed your shirt! :(
+Olivia White haha I know. I'm still buzzing and the gig was a week ago ;)
+Andrew Koh it doesn't get any better 😂 leeds fest was nearly a month ago and I'm still not over it
Still not over how fucking perfect pacifier is live
what about fallout! When he said put your hands up and then nails the distortion on always
I just love seeing so many young people into good rock again, catfish, leaders of the rock revival
If that doesn't inspire you to play music, what will...
Louis Tyson ❤️
Wow, actually yeah, they inspire me to play music, I love them so much
i learned guitar because of them!❣️
It inspired me to learn the drums
@@AufdemLaufenden777 LETS FORM A BAND MATE !

Same mate seen them for the first time at boardmasters this year and they were quality
joe hudson same experience for me when I went to latitude in 2015
Same at Sziget this year
I love how he Van always thanks the crowd, so humble!
Finally they start a set with Rango and Tyrants of course is always the best, they just cut short this time. The best set they've had done so far tbh.
They're going to get very far...
(':
You’re right! :)
2019 and they headlined transmit
yes they are
2020 and there selling out arenas
@@olifitzgerald what 2020 are you in?😂

Such a sick set. Highlight of the festival for me, best night in absolutely ages..

Damn nobody else be coming back to this amazing set
They should 100% headline Reading and Leeds this year. Would be absolutely awesome
2021 it’s happening (if it isnt cancelled)
@@fdcx1852 In a month's time and I cannot fucking wait!!
@@pinnkkplaysdrums less than a week now, so excited!!
@@tiapoppleton8904 ABSOLUTELY BUZZING HOLY SHIT!! If they play Rango I will CRY
I love how the band will shoot smiles at each other, truly amazing.

This is CLASS. I can't wait to see them live in November. It's gonna be... as they say... CLASS!!!
van live better than album quality... 10/10 on this performance
Catfish and the bottlemen have such an amazing stage presence!!
Imagine only releasing one album and filling out a tent so much that people are watching from outside the tent at one of the biggest festivals in the world and everyone knows your lyrics.

My one goal in life is to be able to see them live
Was here! The best set over the whole weekend, waited so long to see them and finally did. No exaggeration, that was probably the best night of my life, the atmosphere was mental, just watch the beginning of homesick for example, it's mental. Love these guys and watching this gives me goosebumps!
You're so lucky
The energy of their early shows is unmatchable. Pure class !!
Brits know how to rock!!
+Lord Ken Damn right we do!
I'm an American and I agree with you. All the gigs in the US that I've seen everyone has their phones out! It's so annoying! Enjoy the fucking gig and don't worry about a fucking picture!
+Ellie Ratcliff you sound British mate aha
+Henry Harrison haha! Trust me, I'm American, just spend a lot of time watching Brit bands and with Brits!! 😂
+Ellie Ratcliff only mcr is the good american band
Best up and coming rock band in the world right now.
maybe I haven't watched all their other recorded shows but this one will always be my favourite, reminds me why I was fucking obsessed with them back then.
not sure how i'm meant to pass my exams when i keep watching this...
So excited for the second album !
the fact i’m gonna experience this next year i honestly don’t know how to handle myself
Is there going to be meet and greet?
This was significantly better than Glastonbury, unbelievable set from the bottlemen
From here to 2019. Lads deserve this 100%
26 was definitely the highlight of the set, such a great song
Best band in the world at the moment
+Jonathan O Well Noel I supposedly a solo artist but I'm a massive fan love catfish and the bottlemen but noel is in a class of hi own atm saw him at radio x and he was brilliant. If noel is a solo artist catfish and the bottlemen are the best if high flying birds are a band then high flying birds are the best imo
+Jason Renton I get to see them both on the same night at ynot festival this year!
+lomas ninetysix extremely jealous a band i would now but at the top aswell is the libertines.
+Jason Renton the libertines broke up because they like to do slap and not record anymore
+Scot Stephenson 11 albums combined from the 2 of them says differently and the fact they are together now and released an album last year
appreciating this masterpiece in 2021❤️
Watching it back it's hard to believe I was actually there
So surreal isn't it! The best night of my life!
What an amazing crowd!!! Incredible! Catfish and the bottleman rocks! I hope to see them here in Brazil!
Hahaha me at 5.24, this was literally the best fucking night of my life, I was too happy, I screamed the words so hard I think I'm permanently damaged. I love you catfish so much, and I intend to be at the front of every coming concert until my voice breaks forever thank you for being so amazing
Sexy

+Isaac Johnson They've been around since 2007 though
+BlueGleek911 true true
BlueGleek911 he was a frontman at 12?
Bby Van was just 23 years old, love him!
Saw them recently at Kendal Calling, was so mental that security was pulling people over the fence and giving out water to keep everyone safe! Best gig of my life
I'm watching this set again while waiting for the third album to come. I really miss them !!!
I get the chills when they announce their name... So much emotion!!!
Highlight of my Reading this year!
amazing how much they have blown up since then, love them
I've been following this band since a very long time like more than a year and its really frustrating because I'll never see them live because of where I live and also I'm poor so I can't travel to anywhere they're having concerts so yeah my life is a nightmare
Oh the same and It's difficult for me because I'm from Peru!! :(
I'm in the exact same situation!
Hesitant Alien they went to play here at my city 3x this yr and i hate myself for missing it just bc ive became a fan just months ago so yeah my life is also a nightmare but in different degree

Hijacktheseeyes U dont know that they might play there nxt yr! I'm from nyc btw
words cannot express how much I love this video and this crowd!!!
favorite band because they sound amazing live and really seem to put on a show. can't wait to see them in October!
I love how Little Monster from Royal Blood is the ad song for Reading+Leeds
this concert physically hurt me.
I wish I was part of that crowd. You can tell that everyone's enjoying the performance plus they get to witness the band's passion while they're on stage. Hopefully they'll have tours in Asia, I've been dying to see them for years:(
Was at the Leeds set, the best live performance I've ever seen hands down
It was my second time at Reading festival that year and I can safely say that out of all the bands I've seen there, these guys were absolutely something else.
seeing them in 5 days I can't wait! anyone else going to the forum show Monday 11/04?
I went-absolutely brilliant!
It was good! Second best concert for me as kasabian were amazing when I saw them.
Well I just added playing that crowd to my bucket list....
So true! We we mental haha
I love that I know all these songs
I came for a few minutes but I stayed till it ends, it's so hypnotic
when the first time you hear a band and say oh shit!
If I could go back to this... highlight of R 2015
When they randomly start singing Stereophonics in the middle of Fallout, YES! Welsh bands are awesome!
Seeing them tomorrow live so excited
OH ITS FUCKING LIT
I like van's guitar so much
Excited, going to see them in June at the rave. Super pumped for this!
What saddens me is the reviews for their albums😞😞😞
the best group
in the world
Man, I've got to be at least 100,000 of those views.
oh my gosh, I'm just gonna have to put 26:21 in here so I can watch those lads go crazy again and again! That's true passion, right there
The beginning is fucking dope
Finally some rock n roll :)
they're alternative rock
:,B This public make me cry,
gold, thank you for posting this gem.
i'm in love!
the band got so emotional esp van i cried; -;
I remember the tent being so full I couldn't get in :(
Same here :(
Same here :(
+Harry Parker safe :)
The Cloak of Taniks finally dropped whilst listening to this. Thank you based Catfish.
I am living for vans hair!
i come back from time to time and its always a religious experience, hope to see them live.
Can't wait to see them in November!
i see them live at festival estereo picnic, bogota 2017. was the most beautiful experience that i've had.
6 years later they finally headlined
The best Homesick version live is here 29:57
Gives me chills hearing homesick being sung so loud back to him
im sorry but this was way better than their headline set this year. They actually seemed happy to be playing reading and leeds that year and this year just felt as if they’d rather be somewhere else doing something else
Estos chicos son muy talentosos, los descubrí hace menos de un año y son excelentes, ya hay un club de fans en México y espero y vengan a la próxima!
God damn im in love. Next year i'm so going to Reading! Gotta experience these lives. Hopefully Catfish will be there again.
MaiHead they're pretty much nailed on to play 2017 as they didn't play this year!
