The hilariously self-deprecating comedian hailing from rural Gloucestershire had everyone in stitches this afternoon at the Alternative Stage. Joel’s brand of comedy is rather rude and risqué but was delivered with that relatable and loved British style. A style that’s given him so many opportunities to be the funny man on our televisions in recent years.

The crowd was a mixed bag between those standing at the front and those seated throughout the tent hoping to kick back and have some giggles with friends. Joel was chipper throughout, with jokes about everything from venetian blinds to Tinder chat.

He also made the effort to make some music-related gags for the festival-goers; particularly ones about his love of Nu Metal, specifically Papa Roach and Crazy Town — the former set to play the festival tomorrow night at The Pit stage.

Joel has embraced his fame and the opportunities it has brought him, from drinking litres and litres of water for a Gay Times photoshoot to taking his dad out for dinner at a pitch-black restaurant. Now no longer a singleton, Joel really made everyone chuckle with their chums after revealing he proposed to his fiancée with the Jurassic Park theme song playing as he kneeled in his tux, surrounded by candles. Beautiful.

Overall a very funny set from a very funny and likeable young man!

And since then, the only way has been up for the New York-born, Texas-raised and now LA-based artist.

Signed to Republic Records, the chart-topper has previously worked with Kanye West, 50 cent and Young Thug among others — and now without doubt stands alongside such names at the influencers’ table.

Post demonstrated his incredible versatility at Leeds, having previously described his music as ‘genre-less’. The trap-style beats he employed were shaking the ground beneath potentially the biggest crowd so far this year!

The crowd were baying for the hits and he obliged with ‘Psycho’, ‘Go Flex’ and ‘Rockstar’, the latter including some impressive pyro on stage. The crowd never stopped reciting his lyrics, and this reflected the real demand for his performance.

Influenced by Bob Dylan of all people, Post brought out his guitar for ‘Stay’, demonstrating his musicianship with a real sing-a-long track. The tattooed trendsetter also gave an enthralling rendition of ‘White Iverson’, the track that catalysed his fame.

As he stepped down from the stage to greet fans after finishing; everyone was made aware of how appreciative and grateful he was to be here. Post is a special performer, and no one will forget today’s showstopper.

The 21-year-old dominated the stage with her beats, dreads and bikini top as she promised to give the crowd ‘all her energy’ after playing XXX’s track ‘Sad’.

She took the crowd on an intrinsic journey as galactic graphics flashed on the screens, and she asked everyone to put their sunglasses on so she could ‘throw some shade’.

IAMDDB lit the stage red as she performed a track from her upcoming project ‘Volume 4’ — the bass so heavy it rocked the floor.

Judging by the energetic set and the masses of people at the BBC Radio 1 Stage this evening, IAMDDB is destined for big things.

The Main Stage was packed for the Liverpool band, who put on a show filled with guitar solos and their famous tongue-in-cheek lyrics that the fans love so much.

Fruity graphics bounced across the screen for their track ‘Lemon to a Knife Fight’ (just in case you didn’t know what a lemon looked like) before returning to their signature wombat cartoons. Wombat cheerleaders also danced along the stage.

Their lyrics ‘shut up and move with me’ worked a treat as fans threw their hands in the air and jumped around, proving to lead singer Matthew Murphy just how mental Leeds can get.

The band sparked laughs from the crowd when they played what they called ‘elevator music’, which Matthew described as ‘horrendous’ but continued to play anyway.

Fan-favourite ‘Moving to New York’ was a real hit as the crowd threw themselves around and screamed the lyrics in pure bliss.

It might be 11 years since ‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’ was released, but the fans were still as happy to hear it today as they were back then.
