The Constantines and Wintersleep both played sets spanning their entire discographies, pleasing fans and intriguing new listeners. Both sets saw the crowd singing along to choruses. The Cons had fans clapping in rhythm to the thumping bass while lead singer Bry Webb barked out the powerful pieces of lyricism that the Cons are known for-- whether it's "can I get a witness?" "love can be a shower of stones," or "you do what you can do with what you got," Webb's gravelly growl was forceful and commanding.
