While he's very high up on the main stage billing here, speaking to Kerrang! last year about the idea of perhaps headlining a festival like Reading & Leeds one day, MGK said, "The statement 'one day'… I don’t like the way that statement makes me feel. It seems too out of reach. I’m sick of people telling me to wait. I’m sick of people telling me that a dream can be achieved if I do this, this, this and this, or that I’ve got 'this’ but I’m missing 'that’. You’ve got 'that’ but you’re missing 'this’. 'One day’ is what you tell a boy who doesn’t know better; I know that I will headline festivals; I know that I will headline Reading & Leeds.
"I know the world likes to put dreams out of your reach," he added. "But I’m just realising that what I’m reaching for is right here.”
