The Feeling cover a-ha and Buggles at V Festival
Brit band bolster their V Stage appearance with classic tunes
The Feeling called upon classic pop hitmakers a-ha and Buggles for their V Stage performance at the Staffordshire leg of V Festival this afternoon (August 16).
Along with playing a selection of their own songs that got the crowd going, the band borrowed to giant crowd-pleasers to ensure they got a massive sing-a-long.
Firstly a-ha's 'Take On Me' a hit in 1985, warmed up the audience’s voices, then later on in the set the band performed a very faithful rendition of Buggles' 1979 UK Number One 'Video Killed The Radio Star'.
Alongside the covers, The Feeling performed their own songs, including new track 'Join With Us', which recently featured in a car advert.
