The band were touring in support of their fifth record, ‘Heathen Chemistry’, which had been released just a few months previously.
They were supported by acclaimed Solihull Britpop outfit Ocean Colour Scene, who had also recently released their fifth album ‘Mechanical Wonder’.
It was a wet one but it didn’t deter the many thousands of fans who flocked to the Foyleside venue for the memorable double bill.
