That old cliche of the rain not dampening spirits might never have been truer than when Blossoms headlined Millennium Square.
If you were out and about in Leeds on Saturday the chances are you’ll have encountered one of the multiple downpours in the city. But while the cricketers over at Headingley couldn’t stump it, there was no stopping thousands cramming into Millennium Square for an indie party. Many bouncing joyously in their ponchos.
Things were looking rather bright and cheery when Miles Kane delivered his 11-song support set. As well as his solo favourites, including Come Closer, Inhaler and Coup de Grace, the masses were also treated to some unexpected pleasures in the form of Aviation and Standing Next to Me. Hits from The Last Shadow Puppets, the side project of Kane and Alex Turner, alas there was no appearance by the Arctic Monkeys frontman.
