AFI

In August 2009, AFI delivered a killer performance at the Reading Festival, showcasing their potent mix of punk rock and gothic flair. This electrifying set came shortly after their album 'Crash Love', which dropped a year earlier in 2006. That album marked a significant evolution in their sound, featuring a more polished approach while still captivating their long-time fans. It was during this phase that AFI was riding high on renewed commercial success, striking a balance between their cult roots and mainstream appeal. Interestingly, at Reading, their high-energy performance featured beloved tracks that perfectly encapsulated the band's intensity and theatricality. Plus, fans were thrilled to witness an iconic live setting that many consider a rite of passage for any popular band. With their commitment to elaborate stage setups and powerful visuals, this performance isn't just a memory; it's a celebration of AFI's legacy.
