It was their final gig until their fifth album is complete, and The Wombats couldn’t have picked a better place than Leeds Festival to (temporarily) say goodbye. The Liverpool trio was in fine form as they lavished the Main Stage crowd with a number of hits – a couple of which caused stage invasions from human-sized wombats.

Blasting through an array of well-known songs, The Wombats gave the audience what they’d come to see. Namely, banging tunes that they could dance to. ‘Techno Fan’, ‘Lemon to a Knife Fight’, and ‘Leaving for New York’ induced mass singalongs and plenty of bouncing. Slower numbers like ‘Just Give Me a Try’ were well received too, but it was their breakout hit that was to cause the biggest cheer of the evening.

‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’ had everyone, from the very front to the very back, bopping and singing the lyrics back to The Wombats, and it was appreciated by the lads from Merseyside once the song had drawn to a close.

With no potential release date for their next LP confirmed, it could be a long time before we see The Wombats again. This, then, was a fitting way to end things for the time being.
