Klaxons drew massive crowds at their secret set at the Park Stage at Glastonbury tonight (June 27).
The band made the most of the occasion by dressing up in outrageous costumes – as the Tin Man, Edward Scissorhands, a joker and a headless man.
Kicking off their set with ‘Atlantis To Interzone’, the band had the audience in raptures from the start of the set.
Band member James Righton shouted “surprise!” into the microphone at the end of the track.
He then sealed the celebratory mood of the gig by instructing the band to play the song again in its entirety – much to the crowd’s delight.
The band played several new songs during their set, but it was favourites like ‘Golden Skans’ that garnered the biggest response from the crowd.
“Absolutely magical,” Jamie Reynolds beamed after playing the track.
Later in the set, ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ inspired moshing from those at the front of the crowd.
The band followed the track with another crowd favourite, cover ‘It’s Not Over Yet’.
“Listen, Glastonbury, have a fantastic weekend, this has been fucking fantastic!,” Reynolds told the crowd before playing the final song.
