Heineken Green Spheres, Saturday 11th July, 2pm



Describe in a Tweet:
 Fred: The Rebel Blur



What happened: So just when you thought this band couldn't get any better live, they start adding strings, brass and extra saxaphone. This was always going to be fun.



This is a high: It's one big highlight, really, but it all seems to be building to 'Running'. They kind of milked the build up, but all that does is get a (remarkably busy) arena all riled up. By the time that daft little brass riff drops, everyone's onboard and we've got ourselves a proper 'moment'.

'Skyscrapers' proves it wasn't a fluke and the end of this set is greeted by visible disappointment all round. Seriously - they owned it.



This is a low: I guess lead singer Joe could have done a little more dancing - when he was wigging his bum it looked kind of funny.



Oxegen rating: 9/10
