The boys are back in town – Peace headline Saturday’s Festival Republic Stage

Everyone’s favourite indie-rock band were back with a bang tonight.

Last year, they teased us with a surprise secret set on the BBC Introducing Stage and tonight the indie-rock quartet Peace graced us with their presence in the rightfully deserved headline slot on the Festival Republic tent.

The Birmingham locals brought a wave of nostalgia to their set tonight as they played out a well-crafted setlist of festival anthems, with their melodic indie-rock being the sound of summers since 2013 when they released their debut hit album ‘In Love.’ They played everyone’s favourite sunshine-twinged hit tracks like opener banger ‘Follow Baby’ and classics ‘Lovesick’ and ‘California Daze’, which have all remained firmly on our indie summer playlists. With so many people on shoulders, Peace treated to the perfect Saturday night festival party.

They shared new song ‘Good Jeans’ which features the new element of a keys player, with the sentimental track getting the crowd waving their hands in the air in unison – and what a sight it was. Plus, to top it all off they even threw in a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ for good measure – what more could you ask for?

Finale track ‘World Pleasure’ closed out an unforgettable set with an extended outro that saw the crowd going absolutely mad for it.
