Frontman Kele Okereke delivered a magnetic performance on vocals/guitar with original guitarist Russell Lissack's atmospheric riffs and powerhouse drummer Louise Bartle combining perfectly with new bassist Harry Deacon.
Encore included "Signs", "Two More Years", "Helicopter", "Ratchet" and "This Modern Love".
