They were joined by rappers (Dizzee Rascal?) on stage, but it looked like it was just a gimmick for the festival. They sounded quite punky and the only lyric I could make out was ‘In the city… it’s alright’ or something like that.

… must have been The Rakes, judging from this picture, and these lyrics:

in the city is a riot,22 grand job
in the city is a riot,22 grand job
in the city is a riot,22 grand job
in the city is a riot,there’s aint nice
it’s alright,it’ alright
