FRESH from supporting Oasis this summer, The Enemy swaggered onto the stage of a packed Portsmouth Guildhall with the atmosphere more akin to that of a football match.
The Coventry three-piece made up of Tom Clarke, Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts, kicked off with high energy tracks Aggro and Had Enough, which had the crowd dancing and singing.
Fans may be surprised to learn that the setlist is heavily weighted with songs from their platinum-selling first album, We’ll Live And Die In These Towns, although they belted out the latest tunes Be Somebody, No Time For Tears and Sing When You’re In Love.
After just 35 minutes the boys left the stage but returned for an encore almost as long as their set, performing tracks including It’s Not Ok and Happy Birthday Jane.
And it looked like they were enjoying the gig as much as the crowd when Andy Hopkins returned to his crowd-surfing ways before their final song of You’re Not Alone.
