London Grammar stole the show at the last festival I went to. Hannah Reid has an incredible voice.

There is a documentary where they ask 100 rock/pop musicians and journalists who the best live band is. The top answer:

"you mean the best live band after KISS?"

Saw them at the MEN 5 or 6 years ago and they were absolutely superb

Had a spare ticket and took a good mate who wasn’t a big fan of them and they blew him away

See them a couple of times when they tour, Birmingham and Stratford Stadium on the last one and they were bloody good. Nearly 40 years of practice can do that to a band.
