As a blanket of clammy humidity settled in for the early evening like an old flat mate bunking down for a night on the couch, fans of The xx waved tickets and hands in front of their faces in the vain attempt to generate even the smallest of breezes.
The xx played each song with personality and poise, with their performance feeling like it had a higher purpose beyond just showcasing their talent to a legion of appreciative fans.
The XX are a band that exudes a quiet influence over contemporary mainstream pop music, largely thanks to their self-titled debut released nine years ago.
