The crowd stood silent for fan favourite Spanish Sahara, which gradually builded to an exciting finale and drew one of the biggest responses of the night from the crowd.

They leave nothing in reserve and after a wall of feedback and epic final song Utrydd dei Svake, Kvelertak leave the satiated crowd to file out with battered senses and ringing ears.

Whether it’s that disparity, or the fact it’s a school night, the crowd doesn’t seem captured by the music, filtering out over the course of the two sets until there’s only an enthusiastic fraction of the original audience left as the show closes.

As well as making singing look as easy as talking, Ngaiire puts her whole body and soul into the notes that come from her, moving uninhibitedly with the music and feeling every word that comes out of her mouth.

Things soon climax with Feel The Love before it drips away a cappella. The Brits then disappear to the wings and the venue erupts. The three-song encore that follows is a mere victory lap around the glory that’s been.

Headliner 360 comes out all denimed-up with smoke machines blasting and the strobes turned up. He hits the Falling & Flying tracks (the last time we’ll all hear, he claims, as he welcomes Utopia) with his casual ease and then continues with the dance party...

It’s a largely self-produced effort with some guest spots and it’s sometimes uplifting (In The Kingdom), often chilling (California), but always assured, as the duo always were, really.
