[@rupman27isback]

[@Cereal_For_Lunch]

this song makes me feel violently happy, I can’t find any other way to explain it

[@gretamarin234]

Great way to put it

[@gretamarin234]

I feel the same thanks for saying it

[@macaless]

I thought I couldn't love Vampire Weekend any more than I do and then I spotted Ezra's Pogues top!! ❤

[@BrandonBriers]

How the cruel, with time, becomes classical 🎸

[@robiuk666]

Vampire Weekend gives me hope in the future of pop music!

[@Ben-he4jx]

Do you know how long they’ve been in the game? They are not a young band.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Oh definitely
They’ve always been good but I thought this latest album was a total home run

[@fadinaim695]

They're not pop though... but yes, after their latest record, they give me hope in the future of music in general (or Indie music if I had to be specific)

[@Sophie-ge7ti]

It's alternative/"indie", not pop

[@angelicahr4667]

Only God Was Above Us - AOTY ✨️

[@michaeldonovan3959]

Finally a proper band at this shit fest

[@peperamirez1803]

Lo tendrán compelo la participación de vampire weekend?

[@Eleanor1358]

The crowd is not the one

[@whatmodern]

This crowd sucks.

[@nathonso_edits]

Big weekend is always like that, as it's the bbc it's a free ticket lottery so the crowd will only get going for the most normie music

[@JohnWilkinson-t3u]

One drummer good. Two drummers better.

[@non-wx8qm]

Where exactly was this concert? 🤔

[@flala2261]

Stockwood Park, London Road, Luton, UK 🇬🇧. 📍
it’s near London *Luton* Airport & at 0:15 the camera scans up to show an EasyJet plane flying over ahead ✈️ as the general area is under flight paths
BBC Radio 1 brings a music festival to a different UK town each year, in places that normally wouldn’t necessarily host festivals.

[@non-wx8qm]

@flala2261 Thank you for the details. 👍🏻

[@joshuafrueh1290]

who brings airpods to a concert???

[@TobiasStephenson-vg7uf]

deaf people

[@WiloPolis03]

I wore disconnected earbuds at my last concert as a replacement for ear plugs. Could be the same thing maybe

[@krysstle-8226]

What is the song please thank you 😊
