With a whole album of material that is to yet to be played live – last year's sensational Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible – picking the perfect party playlist is an unenviable task, but with six LPs in their arsenal, it's Go Big Or Go Home time. No ballads or slow ones here – Donington came to dance. Sssnakepit. Juggernauts. Zzzonked. The Last Garrison. Arguing With Thermometers. It's outrageous behaviour, to be honest.
The new material is also met with a rapturous reception, leaving frontman Rou Reynolds almost overcome with emotion as opener The Great Unknown is bellowed back to him from the off. "I've been waiting 21 months for that,” he cries after the stone cold stunner of The Dreamer's Hotel turns the air thick with joy and adulation. Although it's hard to ignore how wild people still go for Sorry, You're Not A Winner, and boy have we missed the sound of 10,000 people clapping in unison.
