As the sun sets on Glastonbury's final night, The National take to the Other Stage, proving just why they've become a festival staple. Rather than sad-sounding indie for 6 Music dads, they deliver a set that's anything but melancholic, infusing their performance with a raw energy that belies their studio recordings.
From the moment they launch into 'Don't Swallow The Cap', it's clear this isn't going to be a by-the-numbers headline set. Frontman Matt Berninger prowls the stage, his baritone voice cutting through the cool evening air.
The setlist is a carefully curated journey through the band's extensive catalog. Early fan favourite 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' gets an airing early on, while newer tracks from their two albums dropped last year sit comfortably alongside classics.
