While the rain outside the Bohemia stage dampens the Knebworth land as well as those unable to get into the tent, Pulled Apart By Horses (4) do nothing short of turning raindrops into one big sweaty blur. The band are simply a joy to watch and appear happy to be performing to a packed-out tent at this festival. The majority of their setlist is of course formed using favorites from their self-titled album, but they also premier some new tracks, which sit along comfortably with the older ones (if they can even be called that yet). The variation of coloured lighting only adds to the spectacle of their show, and the crowd's reaction is of course of a mental nature. Could a live performance be any more ideal?
Arriving on-stage 15 minutes before they are due to appear, Volbeat (4) pummel their instruments for longer than their allocated time-slot. No one at the Apollo stage this morning is complaining though; if anything, they should consider themselves lucky. The Danish country-metalers showcase snippets of Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' and Slayer's 'Raining Blood' in-between their own tracks, which goes to show that they're aware of the fanbases they're playing to this morning, and undoubtedly they will have increased their own after this performance. It wouldn't be surprising to see their position on the bill head upwards in future years, too - it's only fitting that those who missed out this morning get another chance to see what they can do.
