Not a big fan of the music myself, but it does have a nice sound to it and I really like the video concept and how it blends with the song.

Reading and Leeds headers announced to mixed reactions
Reading and Leeds festivals, two of the most wicked festivals I haven’t yet had the pleasure of attending have officially announced all three headliners, much to the joy of some and dismay of others: Green Day, Nine Inch Nails and Phoenix.
