Metronomy got the crowds moving during their set at Leeds Festival this afternoon (August 29).

Joseph Mount‘s band treated fans at the NME/Radio 1 Stage to a set comprising songs from their second album ‘Nights Out’ – and gave a shout-out to their female fans.

“Are there any females in the audience? This is for all the females,” Mount said before ‘Radio Ladio’.
