There are few better ways to open a set than with ‘St. Patrick’, and that’s exactly how PVRIS got the crowd behind them at the Radio 1 Stage at Leeds Festival.

The post-hardcore band, who fuse their main genre with alternative rock and electropop, were entertaining and energetic as they brought a string of classics to those assembled as the sun set on Sunday.

‘Anyone Else’, ‘You and I’ and ‘Death of Me’ were two such examples of how PVRIS merge their variety of genres together, and the crowd lapped it up as they swayed at the slow parts and jumped at the frenetic bits.

Newly released song ‘Hallucinations’ was belted back to PVRIS just as emphatically as the Massachusetts trio played it. For a tune that has just been released, it was mightily impressive to see the audience give as good as they got. Lynn Gunn’s impressive voice carried across the Radio 1 Stage and into the crowd, and there is very little that can drown her out when she’s on this form.

As expected, ‘My House’ brought PVRIS’ set to a close. Their defining song was a fitting conclusion to what had been a super performance, that’s for sure.
