They added: “To do this with your best mates is the biggest privilege, and we are so grateful to have shared it with 3,000 of you.”
The gig included performances of hit tracks like ‘Romance Is Boring’, ‘You! Me! Dancing!’ and ‘The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future’.

In 2021, NME watched Los Campesinos! perform live to celebrate fourth album ‘Hello Sadness’ turning 10. “The Welsh indie-pop outfit deliver a rousing tribute to their back catalogue, and the future is looking bright,” the four-star review read.
Last year, Los Campesinos! shared that they wanted to commission writers as a way to continue to foster their fanbase community.
“Our recent experiences are that very few outlets will cover our band anymore (no hard feelings, I get it!). But we want to continue to foster this community outside of social media, and it seems we’ve an ever-growing fanbase that want to hear about our band,” they wrote on social media.
The band also made a point to highlight that they plan to pay writers “well and on time, to publish in-depth pieces to be enjoyed by fans, outside of the restrictive ‘album cycle’ PR pattern.”
