Well-honed, satirical crowd-pleasers, their thrash/heavy metal being oft-repetitive mattered little to those who wore fake blood like a badge of honour.

Much looser and way further off the cuff than his touring buddies (at one point they segue into some Iron Maiden), Neale takes a leaf out of The John Steel Singers’ previous book and invites the first three rows onstage for a fittingly chaotic version of In Stranger Times.

Even for those with a history not dating back to pop-punk, it’d be downright untruthful to claim Mayday Parade put on a bad show.

The crowd lapped up the dreamy tunes, and then the encore of One Of The Animals.

Got Me Wrong and the menacing Again keep the crowd thrashing and, as the rumbling bass of Would? heralds the predictable end of the gig, the band say their goodbyes, well primed for their Soundwave show tomorrow.

Chromeo have dropped another new track that will be featured on their forthcoming album White Women.
