Awww, that was so much fun!

The heat had been absolutely knackering today, so please excuse us not going too wild haha.

Good group of singers down the front, giving it some pointy as well.

Also just seen James is the 5th trend on Twitter! Lots of positive comments about their set over there, which is nice to see.
I think my favourite comment is that he looks like the guy that runs the open mic night at your local

I enjoyed that, but I wish James wouldn't always assume that they crowd know lyrics to songs and saying "this verse is yours", I was like NO JAMES!!! Didn't think the acoustic song for a festival was fitting although I did enjoy it personally. Did anyone else notice during 1985 his vocals were muted when he sang Orwell? Very odd, I was like "oh here we go BBC!". The new ending to Tolerate really does get the crowd going after two festival tries of it

Great set and James looking so energetic! What is the line they sing at the end of you love us which I've heard a few times live- sounds like "there's too many classists so why should we fall?' (Imagine the real lyrics are nothing like that..!)

You are very close actually . It's 'There's too many closets, oh, when will we fall?' from Holidays in the Sun by the Sex Pistols.

I'm not sure why Johnny Marr gets so much acclaim as a guitarist. JDB guitar in Die in the Summertime is stunning. And all the set.

I spotted someone that looked suspiciously like UEF in the crowd mouthing the words to You Love Us in a red t-shirt, I might be totally wrong.
