With Therapy? lead singer Andy Cairns now pushing 50, 1990s-styled support bands and even a song dedicated to Kurt Cobain, an older crowd was treated to that rare thing: a total nostalgia trip that didn’t suffer for that fact.

First up, Worcester youngsters Thirty Six Strategies offered a nice, if slightly derivative starter, with their ”Husker Doo-Wop” alternative pop-rock sound, warming things up slowly but surely.

Somehow forgetting they weren’t headlining a summer festival, Triggerfinger, featuring Hooverphonic’s Mario Goossens, were all classic rock posturing. Taking more of a musical cue from countrymen Millionaire than more traditional Belgian fare, big riffs and bluesy forays won over an initially indifferent audience.

With cancelled dates due to illness leaving Brighton the first night of the tour, you’d expect a somewhat restrained performance from Cairns and co. Other than the odd vocal glitch, this was business as usual.

All the big-hitters, from Troublegum favourites Die Laughing and Nowhere through to earlier anthem Teethgrinder reached the target, whilst segments of new album Disquiet, notably the driving Insecurity and the almost self-parody of Still Hurts, were satisfyingly old-school Therapy?.

An encore featuring a potty-mouthed Potato Junkie singalong and (obviously) the colossal Screamager left no box un-ticked for fans.
