Brandon Boyd gets the crowd hungry at Donington

Incubus played a hit-laden set on the Main Stage at Download Festival this evening (June 14).

The Californian rockers ran through a selection of hits from their back catalogue, including 'Are You In?' and 'Wish You Were Here'.

Singer Brandon Boyd, dressed in a baggy white vest, was on jovial form as he joked with the crowd: "Is the beer cheap enough? No? Oh well, did you bring your own?"

Later, he spotted a giant hot dog stand at the back of the stage and jibed: "There is a giant hotdog in the corner if you're hungry."

The singer spent much of the set hammering on a set of bongos before getting the crowd to take up vocal duties on 'Pistola'.

At the end of the set he ripped his vest off and sang 'Crow' on his knees.

Incubus played:

'Just A Phase'
'Nice To Know You'
'Wish You Were Here'
'Anna Molly'
'Circles'
'Kiss'
'Drive'
'Meglomaniac'
'Priceless'
'Are You In?'
'Pistola'
'Sick Sad Little World'
'Stellar'
'Crow'
