So I cleverly spent last weekend's unbelievable (even for July) heat outdoors, wearing many layers of sunscreen of course. Heading over to Clapham Common, there was Calling festival going on, with my Swedish favourites from many years ago, The Hives performing a typically charismatic and energetic set. Amazingly, they even wore their sharp white suits, so I can't imagine how hot they must have been! (Actually, I can. As singer Pelle, stated onstage, it was only fairly hot. Then The Hives played and it was VERY hot).
The highlight of the day was hotly tipped rockers Wolf Alice, who headlined the second stage with their melodic grunge-pop. Considering Noel Gallagher was about to step onto the main stage, they pulled in quite a crowd, with the centre dancing away through their whole set.
