The Hollywood Vampires were joined by punk and goth-rock trailblazers The Damned, who opened the night in style before the headline act delivered a raucous 105-minute set.

Fans sang along to classics including Aerosmith’s Livin’ On The Edge, David Bowie’s Heroes, AC/DC’s Highway to Hell and Run-DMC’s Walk This Way, alongside the band’s own material.

There were huge balloons sent bouncing through the crowd during a mash-up of Alice Cooper’s School’s Out For Summer and Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall, before Cooper popped them as they made their way back to the stage.
