Live music made a spectacular return to London last summer when The Vaccines and The Snuts played a very special gig for Radio X and Barclaycard after a year of lockdown.

You can watch highlights from the show, plus get a glimpse into how one of the first post-lockdown shows was put on, via our exclusive video here.

Radio X Presents The Vaccines & special guests The Snuts with Barclaycard took place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. Hosted by Radio X's Toby Tarrant, the delight on Vaccines frontman Justin Young's face was clear to see as the band kicked into their classic anthem I Can't Quit.

The band - Justin Young (guitar and vocals), Freddie Cowan (guitar and vocals), Árni Árnason (bass), Timothy Lanhham (keyboards) and Yoann Intonti (drums) - took the opportunity to showcase some of their new material, including the Radio X Record Of The Week, Headphones Baby.

Special guests on the night were The Snuts, who delivered a hugely impressive set and demonstrated why they became the first Scottish band in 14 years to top the UK album chart with their debut W.L.

The West Lothian band - Jack Cochrane (guitar and vocals), Joe McGillveray (guitar), Callum Wilson (bass) and Jordan Mackay (drums) - tore through the highlights of their debut, including the evergreen Glasgow (another Radio X Record Of The Week), Always and No Place I'd Rather Go.

The gig is the latest instalment of Radio X and Global’s ongoing multi-year entertainment partnership with Barclaycard and the first show with a live audience. Previous Radio X Presents… with Barclaycard gigs have seen virtual gigs featuring DMA’S, Jake Bugg, Tom Grennan and Nothing But Thieves.
