  • The 17-song setlist spanned his four albums and prominently introduced material from his newly released fourth album, 'Hopefully!', which explores themes of fatherhood and childhood
  • Sampha appeared on ‘Desoleil (Brilliant Corners)’ and Jorja Smith joined on ‘Loose Ends’, adding surprise collaborative highlights to the headline slot
  • Minimalist production stripped away side screens and elaborate lighting to centre focus on Carner’s vocal delivery and his band’s musicianship
