Hadn't seen the Foos live for 12 years after the debacle of the Hyde Park gig, but took a chance and went with a few friends last night. OMFG so worth it, totally back to form and thankfully they no longer butcher Everlong at the end Utterly brilliant show.
How bad were the support acts though?! Starcrawler were led by a coked up Lady Gaga impersonator (how she didn't get a smack from the crowd when trying to kiss them covered in blood I've no idea), Slaves were ace but the joke went on about 20 mins too long, and holy heck The Kills are the single most boring act I've ever seen live. And I've seen Elbow live, just to put that into context.

I enjoyed Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes but Wolf Alice seemed totally uninterested in being there. How bad were the support acts though?!

I went to the Manchester gig, and echoing what everyone else has said - they were utterly superb!
We didn't arrive in time to see either of the support acts, but we weren't too fussed anyway so it sounds like we didn't miss much there. One of our party had never been to a 'proper' gig before, so it's safe to say he was truly spoiled haha
For anyone that is interested, Radio X recorded the Manchester gig and aired it on Sunday evening.
