Oxegen 2007
Kings of Leon

Describe In Three Words: 2 Cool 4 School. (Ok, it's four words, but two of them are numbers, so that's like half a word each)

Remarkable Moment: Their best tunes. It's as simple as that - this band have written some amazing music, but it's hard to decide whether they can get away with doing very little onstage. Yeah, they all look like uber-cool movie stars and yeah, that guy can surely sing. But we're left feeling a little cold. 'Charmer', 'On Call' and 'The Bucket' are just three glorious moments sonically, but as main-stage festival shows go, you wonder whether this band are up to it. Or even, if they want to be.

Crowd Reaction: The first big crowd of the day give it their best shot, but we reckon only those crammed down the front last the entire gig without checking their timetable to see what was on elsewhere.

Oxegen Rating Out Of Ten: 6
