Showcasing songs from their ‘Sound & Color’ LP, they also spoke about a last-minute secret show at London Oslo, “intense and responsive” UK crowds and the spirit of their live shows - “everybody’s in the zone - that’s the goal”, said Brittany Howard.
The band performed ‘Don’t Wanna Fight’ and ‘Future People’.
