Cold War Kids debut new song at Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival

Cold War Kids debuted a new song at Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival today (August 24).

The band played the sweeping ballad ’Dreams Me Old Dream’ in the NME/Radio 1 tent.

Singer Nathan Willet introduced the track by saying: “We’re Cold War Kids and we’re honoured to be here. This is a new song.”

The biggest cheers came for ’St John’ which culminated in a stirring duet between Willet and guitarist Jonnie Russell.

Closer ’Hospital Beds’ led to a mass sing a long between the audience as Russell conducted the crowd to join into the lyrics: “Put out the fire on us.”

‘Rubidoux’
‘St John’
