After opening with a synth heavy version of “Fingers of Steel” he played his Eurovision entry song, “Divine” prompting a huge cheer from the crowd.

Looking like he was just getting into his stride he joked to the audience, “You’re very nice people but so fat and ugly,” before launching into “Sexual Sportswear”.

Warming up for Tellier, Captain played a short set to a group of loyal fans who clapped and sang along throughout their performance.

After opening with “Echoes of Fashion” and “Frontline” the keyboardist Clare Szembek revealed that their lead guitarist was something of a catch.

“Our Greek is listed in the top 50 most eligible bachelors in the whole of the UK in the latest issue of company magazine,” she giggled, referring to Mario Athonasiou. The band then went into their best known hit “Glorious”.

The Uncut Arena has proved a popular choice today with full crowds for every act this afternoon from opening band Golden Silvers, Beth Rowley and Wild Beasts, who played one of the best sets of the festival so far.
