Taking to the stage slightly later than billed, Kane, who was backed by a four-piece band, maintained a frenetic pace throughout his set.

As well as lead single 'Inhaler', the singer also performed nine additional tracks, which contained psychedelic guitar riffs and elements 60s soul sounds.

Other songs included the title track to his new album ‘My Fantasy’, which features backing vocals from former Oasis star Noel Gallagher.

"Thank you very much. Good evening everyone," he said after ‘Quicksand’. "Thank you for coming down when you don't know any of these songs - we really appreciate it."
