The Courteeners, DMA's and The Lathums rock at Neighbourhood Weekender - Day One review

It may only be in its fourth year but Warrington’s Neighbourhood Weekender has quickly become known for one of the largest indie parties around. Instead of clubs with sticky dance floors and stale snakebite, it's all about a sun-soaked day with retro anthems, bucket hats and guitar bands aplenty.

The two-day event certainly has a laid back atmosphere, with only a short walk between the three stages stretching Victoria Park. Glasgow rising talent Dylan John Thomas is the highlight of the afternoon on the Big Top stage - the Gerry Cinnamon-inspired vocalist is clearly one to watch as his rousing set whips the packed crowd into an early dance.

Fellow Scots The Fratellis soon arrive on the main stage with their infectious hooks and high energy. With Chelsea Dagger, they can't go wrong, a song you've heard a million times but always sounds better in person and the lively crowd knows.
