Foo Fighters headline the Nokia Isle Of Wight Festival Plus Editors and Primal Scream shine on the second day at Seaclose Park Foo Fighters headlined the second night of the Nokia Isle Of Wight Festival this evening (June 10).
Dave Grohl led his band through a ear-shattering set that included monster rockers like
'Times Like These',
'DOA' and
'In Your Honour'.
Grohl, who had earlier watched performances by
Primal Scream,
Editors and
The Kooks was up for some inter-band banter with the other groups on the bill, jokingly taking on
Primal Scream during his set.
"There was some fine music on here today,"
Grohl told the crowd before playing
'Stacked Actors'. "Before we came on I went down to
Primal Scream's dressing room to wish them luck.
Mani said to me 'Good luck going on after us'. Well bro it's going on, this one goes out to those guys."
Earlier
Editors enhanced their live reputation with an assured and imaginative set.
Including
'Munich',
'Blood' and
'All Sparks', the band surprised fans by including new song
'Bones', reworking b-side
'You Are Fading' and covering
Talking Heads'
'Road To Nowhere'.
"It's was a really interesting experience for us," said guitarist
Chris Urbanowicz. "It's probably the most people we've ever played to in one place before. We're looking forward to the rest of the summer now."
They were then followed by
Primal Scream who were introduced on stage by model
Kate Moss.
Mixing tracks from their new album
'Riot City Blues' including
'Country Girl' and
'Suicide Sally And Johnny Guitar', the band also played firm favourites
'Rocks',
'Kill All Hippies' and
'Moving On Up'.
"You all right
Isle Of Wight?" bassist
Mani asked the crowd midway through his band's set. "You having a good time? Anyone got any drugs?"
The
Nokia Isle Of Wight Festival continues tomorrow with
Coldplay set to headline.
