The Blackout

The Blackout

The Blackout put on an energetic set despite the rain and an early start on Saturday at Leeds Festival, keeping fans and curious punters entertained.

The crowd more than played their part, but the energy and performance from the band themselves made this a fantastic show.

Kicking straight in with 'I'm A Riot? You're A F****** Riot!', The Blackout went through a set covering most stages of their back catalogue.

Songs like 'Children of the Night' sounded brilliant, with nothing being lost on the bigger stage.

When a band is clearly having fun on stage, it helps the crowd to enjoy it even more, and The Blackout looked to be having the time of their lives.

Keeping the crowd's moods up despite the rain, Sean Smith and Gavin Butler are great as the two front-men for the band.

The highlight of the set was a fantastic performance of 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things', which the crowd faithfully sung back to the band.

It felt like a triumphant moment for The Blackout, one the fans were clearly excited to be part of.
