Kele was watched by Klaxons, Foals and We Are Scientists as he played on the NME/Radio 1 Stage at Leeds today (August 28), treating fans to a Bloc Party medley as part of his set.

Okereke played on the Main Stage at last year's Reading And Leeds Festivals with Bloc Party and pulled in a huge crowd for his 2010 solo show.

The singer danced onstage as he performed first track 'Walk Tall', before saying to the crowd: "Hello Leeds, how are you doing? My name's Kele and the sun has come out."

He played 'On The Lam', 'The Other Side' and 'Everything You Wanted' from his debut solo album 'The Boxer', before launching into a mix of Bloc Party tracks.

"You may or may not know that I have another band. This next song is for any old friends," announced Kele, playing parts of 'Blue Light', 'The Prayer' and 'One More Chance' while standing on an amp.

One fan waved a banner saying, 'Kele, you're on fire!' - a reference to Bloc Party hit 'Banquet'.

The singer then played 'Tenderoni' and 'Rise' before finishing his set with Bloc Party track 'Flux'.

Kele played:

'Walk Tall'
'On The Lam'
'The Other Side'
'Everything You Wanted'
'Medley'
'Tenderoni'
'Rise'
'Flux'
