Over in The King Tuts Tent, St Albans' finest Friendly Fires are whipping up a party of their own, backed by a grand brass section and pulsating strobe lighting.
'Jump In The Pool' is greeted with an appreciative roar, with MacFarlane confessing to starting his day in true T in the Park style with a can of Tennent's and a bottle of Irn Bru.
The excellent dancefloor-filler 'Skeleton Boy', with the trademark Friendly Fires snare and cowbell-heavy sound is a massive success and as it reaches it's broken down instrumental section, the crowd continue hollering back the chorus before MacFarlane crashes back in to join them in a massive ending.
A ceaselessly energetic, entertaining live act, Friendly Fires are one of the successes of the festival's second day.
