I only knew one song of this band but went because my friend wanted to go. To my surprise I actually had a really good time.  There was such a lovely relaxed atmosphere where  we could just stand in the same spot and enjoy yourself without being worried about what’s going on around you or being distracted or bothered by it. It was really nice seeing everyone of all ages singing along and enjoying themselves. The lead singer seemed to love himself but he was transfixing to watch. He was parading around on the stage in very striking bell bottom trousers, looking as if he hadn't grown up from the 80s. All of the rest of the band seemed to be hidden in the background (the guitarist s eemed quite shy ). The music is really feel-good and it was really easy to pick up the melodies and choruses to the songs to join in singing along. The Vaccines Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh  11.08.18

What is the fascination of touching someone famous? Does it really make you feel closer to them? It really brought to light that although he is hugely famous, he is just a normal human being. It was hilarious to watch the other members of the band also wanting the limelight , the drummer especially. Every now and then he would come to the front of the stage and just stand there thinking he was Jack Black. When the singer came off-stage the guitarist and the drummer were playing catch with drumsticks and you could only see that gem of a moment if you weren’t obsessed with the lead singer. The stage l ighting extremely impressive , especially in the song Pompeii where the stage basically exploded with red (volcano lava) lighting. It was incredibly atmospheric. My favourite part of the performance was...
