Despite the festival’s heavy metal roots, The Jesus and Mary Chain embraced their experimental and noise pop sound, offering darkness-laced pop hooks amidst bass-driven rockers. While some of the more straightforward rock songs fell short, the band’s hypnotic melodies and surreal visuals proved irresistible to those who stayed. Closing the show with an extended instrumental buildup reminiscent of Stone Roses and Hawkwind, the band expressed gratitude to the audience for their support. Despite their outsider status, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s music continues to resonate with those who embrace their unique and uncompromising approach.
