Outside, under a cloudless blue sky, Manchester veterans James prompt one of the great singalongs of the weekend with the indie classic 'Sit Down'.
Darting back inside the King Tut's tent in time to see Foals, it's notable that the raucous party atmosphere that characterised Friendly Fires' set has dulled a little.
The chorus to the darker, atmospheric 'Balloons' has Foals' devout following chanting back "We fly balloons on a fuel called love" with gusto and new song 'Total Life Forever' is powered through furiously, but despite the undoubted vigour and wealth of ideas on display Foals' set doesn't really capture the same heights as Friendly Fires before them.
