What Happened: Following an anticipation-building walk-on, they kick things off with ‘Everyday I Love You…’, slightly darker than the original version, signifying their maturation with the inevitable associated world-weariness attached. As veterans, they’re a good festival band, knowing how to work the crowd, whipping them up into bouncy sing-alongs for the well-known singles such ‘Ruby’ and ‘I Predict a Riot’, but falling slightly flat in-between. Their comfort in their environment extends to front-man Ricky Wilson playing with the on-stage cameraman and leading the crowd in a Mexican wave, whilst managing not to break his neck running side to side. After going to the crowd to meet his public, they leave us happy with ‘Oh My God’ to close.
Lose Yourself: It’s unchallenging good time fun
Guilty Conscience: That is a serious mangling of the pronunciation of Bangor
