I found a disposable camera in 2010 at Reading Festival and got the photos developed (shortly after the festival) (after I used the rest of the film) and thought I'd post them on here, 14 years later, incase anyone knows the people in the photos (I recognise Zane Lowe!) There are a few more, but I think the camera belonged to the guy with the plait in his beard…

I also realise it’s a long shot…
Whoever it is looks like they are in the guest area
Try r/readingfestival if you haven’t already!
Whose the guy in pic 1 on the right? I know that guys face.
The guy in the first pic on the right is an old TV presenter but I can’t remember from where, maybe E4 or MTV
I was there in 2010 and helped out at some of the bars!!! It was a blast!! Went back in 2012!
Never lost my camera though.
Thought the first pic was Grindah from PJDN
Can tell you’re an oldie based on you screenshotting pictures that are already on your phone.
Zane forgot he existed
Guy in the 4th pic is the spitting image of Big Clive (bigclive.com). https://www.youtube.com/shorts/x-WQmCJQvdk has a particularly good video of him.
Given that some of the photos look like guest area and in one of the photos he has an expensive professional looking camera round his, I wonder if he was working as a photographer for NME or Q magazine or some other media outlet?
Could almost be ai, show me generic festival goers
And I say that as someone who was at most Readings between 94 and 2004 and then one or two more since
Man those were the glory days of reading fest
I was there that year and lost a disposable camera…. A bit gutted that it wasn’t mine!
Looks a little bit like Edith Bowman
What OP isn’t telling us is that he’s actually the bloke in all the pictures and he stole Zane Lowe’s camera.
I was at this festival!
Looking at the camera he’s holding and that he’s in the guest area I’d assume he’s press of some kind
could you not have just posted the photos, instead of a screenshot of your phone viewing the landscape photo in portrait ?
60%+ of the image is just wasted space.
I won’t go into details, but the guy with the beard is called Doug Gunter and he lives in Telford.
Even back then, the menacing spectre of Tuborg loomed.
If I was the original owner of this camera, and 14 years after I lost it someone returned my photos including a frickin’ selfie with Zane Lowe(!), I’d be over the moon. I really hope he sees this.
Have you actually tried to tweeting them at Zane Lowe, I mean it’s a long shot but he might notice them especially because he’s in them, maybe he knows or can put the call out to find out.
Kripparrian here guys giving my honest feedback on the hearthstone festival of reading battle grounds patch.
Oh shit, that’s Dave in the back there.
You’re going to tell us that these were produced by AI aren’t you? *Counts fingers for verification.*
That was the last year I went
Very long shot r/foundphotos
Hej, technoviking!!!
First guy on the right is Zane Lowe.
Big up the Zipper!
