The Blackout - Leeds Festival 2011 review

Gavin McInally - 27 August 2011

Picking up the baton from Architects, Welsh pop-metallers The Blackout continue the hardcore assault - oddly with a Tom Jones musical introduction - on Leeds' Main Stage.

Their two pronged vocal attack lifts the energy levels despite the God forsaken showers returning to the skies.

And a cheeky nod to the rest of the day's bands with a run through of riffs works the fans into hysteria before the 'Fuck The Blackout' backdrop is lowered to the tune of chart toppers in waiting.
