Front man Rivers Cuomo's typical enthusiasm took over the stage and most of the fixtures, as he climbed,
clamoured and just did not stop moving with boundless enthusiasm. He certainly gave the camera crew a run for their money
and left the crowd on a high after a winning set spanning their huge back catalogue. The band treated the crowd by throwing
in a few covers - the often-performed 'Teenage Dirtbag' by Wheatus and an unexpected tribute to
Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android'.
An hour set felt short for such an established band as
Weezer who could have entertained
the main stage for much longer, but the well-entertained crowd more than make do with their set and are left thoroughly warmed
up for next act My Chemical Romance.
Gerard Way and Co hit the stage to a crowd buzzing with anticipation, opening with recent dance number
'Na Na Na Na' that gets their wellied-feet off the ground.
The flame-haired front man took advantage
of the stage's catwalk and made his way out to the screaming fans, who were treated to a career-spanning set from My Chemical Romance's four studio albums.
The
crowds were well entertained by tracks old and new and jumpy hit 'Teenagers' provoked a huge dancing wave throughout
the masses.
Headlining the main stage tonight are Black
Eyed Peas, stay tuned to Virtual Festivals
for more on their performance.
