Rowdy return from Brighton indie rockers as they conclude 18-date UK headline tour in style
The Kooks ended their mammoth 18-date Best of... So Far tour in Alexandra Palace on Saturday night (15 May).
The band, whose first album Inside In/Inside Out was released in 2006, offered a heady dose of nostalgia to fans as they blasted their hits 'Naïve,’ ‘She Moves In Her Own Way,’ and ‘Bad Habit’.
New tracks ‘Be Who You Are’ and ‘Broken Vow', also went down a storm. Remarkably, the crowd was quite mixed as a whole new generation are being turned onto their jangly indie pop whilst Mayor Khan also popped his head in for some feel good tunes.
