But first up are Dublin four piece . It’s a set full of punchy, dynamic disco drums, plinky foot stomping guitar and enough infectious riffs to animate the most static punter into getting their indie jig on. Just when it gets a little much to take in, they’ll bust out a song like ‘Animals’ and bring everything hurtling back into focus. You can’t fault ’s enthusiasm, there’s just nothing that gripping about what they do. Part Vaccines without the attitude part Vampire Weekend on way too much sugar it’s close to what we want without leaving much of a lasting impression.

It takes to properly kickstart our evening. With a surprisingly hefty arsenal of hits, they’re a perfect festival band these days, polished and well armed. The tried and tested twee-jaunt ‘5 Years Time’ remains a true standout from a band playing with a level of confidence separateing them from the rest of the support.

A blaze of static and strobe heralds the entrance of our hosts for the evening, a fitting introduction for a band eager to prove themselves and the worth of that long awaited second album. And while ‘Do You Want it All?’ and ‘Undercover Martyn’ ease us in, tonight is, as promised, a massive trailer for songs yet to be released.

Of the new tracks, ‘Next Year’ is a definite stand out, thoughtful and mid-paced, perhaps the bridging track between Two Door Mk 1 and 2. While a fifteen minute mid-set spell of new stuff does make for a bit of a dip these songs are, on the whole, superb. Played with a great deal of pride, ‘Someday’ is kept for the encore, a sparkling future hit for sure.

Having said that, it’s still ‘Something Good Can Work’ then the double whammy of ‘Come Back Ö÷²¥´óÐã’ and ‘I Can Talk’ that steal the show. Basking in past glories, hinting at greatness to come. It bodes well.
