Kids. Everywhere. The average age here is probably 15. Little kids, with their baggy pants and their hoodies, all jumping up and down like crazy, like putty in the hand of tonight’s headliners Incubus.

After a highly fun and energetic set from support 311, the lights go down as the audience chant in unison. Five guys walk onstage, pick up their instruments and prepare to blast the audience with their tunes. Breaking into Nice To Know You, the lights hit the stage, the crowd roars and the band start to play at one of their biggest UK shows ever.

“This is kinda weird for us. A little while back we were playing at the Camden Underworld”, Brandon tells the audience. He then thanks them all for coming along. Bless.

Guitarist Mike Enziger, with his fuzzed up hair, starts off most songs, and not even more than 3 seconds into the tracks, the fans know what song is being played. The highlight is when Mike and Brandon get all acoustic on us and play a couple of numbers including hit single Drive. This is definitely the best moment of the gig, especially when bassist Alex, drummer Jose, and super-cool DJ Chris all come in at the end.

Ah, but what is this? Is that a drum Brandon has around his waist? It certainly is, well, for a couple of songs anyway. And although you can’t really hear it much, it still sounds good when you can (or maybe that is just because it seems to be making his trousers come down a little bit on his waist).

Tonight’s gig was great. Wembley Arena is usually thought of as too big, where the band can’t connect with the audience. Incubus are different. The crowd were having fun, we were having fun, although after seeing them tonight it did make you wonder what they were like at the Underworld.
