Ida Maria gets 'naked' at Leeds Festival

Norwegian singer pulls top down during Festival Republic Stage set

Ida Maria played an energetic set on the Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival today (August 23).

Performing tracks from debut album 'Fortress Round My Heart', the Norwegian singer was in an exuberant mood during songs such as 'Forgive Me' and 'Morning Light'

During the set she doused herself with water, collapsed on the drum riser and even tossed away her pork-pie hat.

Then while performing her Number Two hit and crowd-favourite 'I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked', she pulled her pink top down to reveal her cleavage.

"What we give to you, we get it back," she explained to the ecstatic crowd.

Ida Maria played:

'Morning Light'
'Drive Away My Heart'
'Louie' huge clapalong
'Forgive Me'
'Stella'
'Oh My God'
'I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked'
