Catfish and the Bottlemen:

If huge, stomping rock and roll is your cup of tea, then Catfish and the Bottlemen have it – and have it in spades! Their massive, stadium-shaking tunes shook the ground by the Main Stage West to its very core, as the jumping of the crowd sent out shockwaves that felt like miniature earthquakes. Set against a deceivingly tranquil summer sky, streaked with pink and gold, the band brought all the venom of their dirty, brooding riffs and blazing vocals, encapsulated perfectly even in just the opener, worldwide hit ‘Longshot’. Yet still, there remained a party atmosphere bubbling over the heads of the enthralled onlookers. Catfish have that oh-so-rare a talent of being effortlessly cool gods of rock, without ever taking themselves or their performance too seriously, and for that, they should be applauded – although, something tells me that the thousands who gathered to watch their set did a pretty good job of that already!
