It says a lot about the monumental power that a band like Enter Shikari wield that they can apparently change the weather completely on its head! After a full weekend of blistering heat, the cold winds of change began to blow fiercely across the festival site as the power rockers took to the Main Stage West, stirring up huge flurries of dust in their wake.

In fact, it soon became nigh-on impossible to see anything at all, when the band exhausted their confetti budget completely, firing white flakes into the air within the opening seconds, followed by a flurry of rainbow shards during the powerfully affecting ‘Meteors’, and a final storm of colour unleashed in the dying seconds of ‘Live Outside’! However, all the tiny paper shapes will undoubtedly degrade very quickly, as the band made clear their stance on environmental conservation. After technical difficulties interrupted his speech yesterday, condemning the polluting of our rivers and oceans by private water companies, frontman Rou Reynolds managed to deliver his impassioned sermon in full this time, to thunderous applause filled with genuine emotion from the crowd. Indeed, Enter Shikari’s entire set was filled with a palpable sense of unity – both on stage, when the band welcomed their friends in thrash rock outfit Wargasm to join them on vocals for ‘The Void Stares Back’, and off it, during the reverberating claps that adorned the band’s first smash-hit, ‘Sorry, You’re Not a Winner’. No matter how many times you’ve seen this band, they hit it out of the park each and every time, and it simply has to be seen to be believed.
