The gig in front of a packed crowd in Kentish Town, North London, on Monday was their first for two years and follows the success of the Covid vaccines.

The band, behind hits If You Wanna and Post Break-Up Sex, said the concert was among their “favourite shows ever”, adding on Twitter: “Last night felt too good to condense into a caption.

“Still ­flying. Thank you all.”

They next perform in September — just before both vaccines will be needed to get into a club.
