Justin Young, who was born in the city before going to King Edward VI School in Shirley, made the comments during the band's set on Southsea Common.
Flying the flag for Southampton on the Portsmouth festival line-up, Young told fans that the band were marking 15 years since the release of their debut album, What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?.

He said, on the Common Stage on Friday evening: “It changed our lives; never did we think we’d end up playing festivals like this in Portsmouth."
Young then mischievously added: “Especially as I was born in Southampton!”
Lead singer Young grew up in the New Forest and later attended Brockenhurst College.
