V Festival Perth: Madness & Kaiser Chiefs

Within minutes Madness are on the opposite stage and once again there is a mini rush to get to the front. Suggs gets a few laughs with a giant magical pink umbrella shading him from the sunshine and for some reason the band are donning full suits - they really are mad.  They have a whole hour to play with and oh how they play.  Cramming in every hit under the sun and ending on an absolute high with House of Fun - you have never seen as many people skanking and dancing away to everybody's favourite old school ska-pop outfit, as Madness play their encore to thousands.

The Kaiser Chiefs are up next and they have their name up in lights.  Kicking off with Ruby, the Perth punters rave away.  The sun is setting at the Claremont Showgrounds now as the Kaiser Chiefs spit out all their favourite tracks - a highlight being I Predict A Riot which sends the Aussie's crazy - it is definitely the song that made them famous here.  A sea of hand claps covers the arena floor and the party is well and truly under way.  Lead vocalist Ricky Wilson lets the crowd take over every now and then making for a hugely atmospheric, shout-along vibe.  These guys are worshiped here and go down a treat!
