The Cribs share footage from Leeds Festival 2002 set
Group promised they’d dig back into the archives - here’s the result.
Before officially triumphing in the charts, The Cribs promised that if their ‘For All My Sisters’ album went top 10, they’d dig into the archives and release footage from their early years.
Here’s the result - full, uninterrupted footage of their set at Leeds Festival 2002. Almost thirteen years old, it sees a packed out tent witnessing The Jarmans’ first steps, but it’s a far-flung sight from what we usually see now - thousands jumping up and down, screaming every word.
The performances was just The Cribs’ twelfth ever show, and it took place in the Play/Comedy Stage.
