amazing set at Glastonbury last year<\/a>, I suppose I went into this gig with my expectations set too high. It was good but not great. They certainly know how to work a crowd, but by the end I was bored of being told to put my hands up, and affirming that the party was indeed over here. They have a new (Kickstarted) album coming out soon, but they didn’t showcase any new material from it, preferring to stay with the old favourites. Also no merch, which gave me frowny face.<\/p>\nIt was my first time at Tivoli Vredenburg (Ronda auditorium, 2000 person capacity; it wasn’t sold out). It seemed like a decent venue, although rather clean and clinical. It doesn’t have much texture and personality yet.<\/p>\n
