Biffy Clyro and Mumford And Sons play final day of Leeds Festival

Marcus Mumford and co treat fans to new song during set

Mumford and Sons and Biffy Clyro played their Mercury Prize-nominated albums to fans at Leeds Festival today (August 29).

The Londoners performed the likes of ‘Little Lion Man’ and ‘Awake My Soul’ from debut album ‘Sigh No More’ in the packed NME/Radio 1 Stage, where hundreds of fans had to watch from outside. They also treated the audience to new track ‘Nothing Is Written’ – which lead singer Marcus plays drums on.

Meanwhile, Biffy Clyro played a career-spanning set that included tracks from 2009’s ‘Only Revolutions’. Simon Neil announced at the end of their gig: “Enjoy Queens Of The Stone Age, the best rock band in the whole fucking world.”
