For such a melodic band, Feeder seem to have something of an affinity with heavier festivals, having headlined Download a few years back. As the most poppy band on the bill this weekend (excluding Bjorn Again), they stick out like a sore thumb in an unabashedly American line-up. Sandwiched between Machine Head and Limp Bizkit today, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Newport veterans would have their work cut out for them.
'Just the Way I'm Feeling' and 'Lost and Found' carry the good vibes even further, before something really special; a cover of Nirvana's 'Breed' that's a carbon copy of the original, in a nod to Feeder's grunge roots. Suffice to say it's an outstanding addition to an already impressive set, generating a fair bit of energy down the front. Wrapping things up with a triumphant 'Just a Day', the band deliver the final blow to an already smitten crowd, leaving no doubt that theyre a welcome addition to any festival.
