The Enemy played at the Jersey Live festival tonight (September 1), getting the crowd dancing with a hit-packed set.

Today was the first day of the two-day festival, which has seen 10,000 music lovers come together on the island to watch the likes of The Twang and Super Furry Animals perform. The Fratellis will headline the first day later tonight, with Kasabian headlining tomorrow.

Taking the stage at 19:15 GMT, singer/guitarist Tom Clarke led his band through a frenetic set, kicking off with crowd favourites ’40 Days And 40 Nights' and ‘Away From Here’.

Up until The Enemy’s set the atmosphere at the festival had been relaxed and sedate, something acknowledges by Clarke when he said, “I want to see some people jumping up and down during this next song, let’s see what you’ve got,” before playing ‘Technodancaphobic’. The crowd responded by gearing up energy levels, dancing and crowd surfing for the rest of the set.

Clarke continued on his mission to get the crowd more animated, saying, “This song’s called ‘Aggro’, so I want to see some aggro,” before playing the aforementioned song.

By the time The Enemy ended their set, with a high-octane performance of ‘You’re Not Alone’, the crowd were cheering and dancing, the atmosphere considerable more charged.
