The group were flanked by a ten-piece string section, who added a lushness to new songs including ‘Obsessions’, ‘Lost In TV’, described by Brett Anderson as a “favourite” of the band, future single ‘Positivity’, ‘Astrogirl’ and ‘Beautiful Loser’.

The new songs were mixed with fan favourites ‘Metal Mickey’ and ‘The Wild Ones’, as well as ‘The Power’, ‘Indian Strings’, ‘Everything Will Flow’ and ‘She’s In Fashion’.

One fan who was at the show told NME.COM: “They looked quite a lot older, but the new songs were mostly good. Some sound like the poppier moments from ‘Dog Man Star’, while ‘Postivity’ and ‘Obsessions’ sound like they could’ve been recorded for ‘Coming Up’.”
