The band of aging punk rockers from California proved that the old boys still have it after managing to summon enough energy to make the whole Pepsi Max stage pulse.
As an old-school band with huge following and respect the fans turned out in force to pay homage to a band that have paved the way for all manner of teenage garage bands over the past million years.
The unexpected gem of the weekend, and a great alternative to Aerosmith on the last day, they seriously owned the stage and put on a great set. Shame about their choice of outfit though… not a fan of people who wear their own T-shirts.
