Tinie started the show in trademark fashion, pacing around the back of the stage in a hooded coat for
the first two songs. Jumping to the front for third song 'Wonderman', he encouraged the crowd to make ‘W’ signs
with their hands.
Before an acoustic-flavoured 'Love Suicide', he thanked the crowd for coming to see him, declaring
that today is "officially the greatest day of my life." At the song's end, he said: "I just wanted to pour my
heart out...it's been a crazy couple of months."
His collaboration with Swedish House Mafia,
'Miami 2 Ibiza', was preceded by a medley, featuring snippets of another song of theirs, ‘Your Name (One)’, as
well as ‘Dynamite’ by Taio Cruz and ‘Like A G6’ by Far East Movement,
while another rap used a sample of Willow Smith's ‘Whip My Hair’, with Tinie repeatedly asking
the crowd "where's the moshpit?"
Labrinth,
who plays a solo set at East Dance later on tonight at the festival, then joined for ‘Frisky’, after which everybody
left the stage, only to quickly return for a closing ‘Pass Out’, which saw Tinie jump down to
the barriers to shake hands with the audience at the end of the song.
