Weezer Cover MGMT and Lady Gaga at Leeds Festival

With MGMT recently eschewing pop music in favour of a more obtuse direction, it took Weezer's Saturday afternoon slot on the Main Stage at Leeds Festival to remind the crowd of what they were missing from the Brooklyn duo.

Hurtling towards the end of an increasingly boisterous and hit-packed set, MGMT's 'Kids' was given a sincere makeover to the delight of the assembled throng. Momentarily leaving the stage, frontman Rivers Cuomo re-appeared in a platinum blonde wig as the band segued into Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face.'

Becoming as animated as the crowd in front of him, Cuomo took to mounting the fence at the edge of the stage and balancing precariously as he sang the words to 'Buddy Holly.' Seemingly unable to contain his excitement, Cuomo dropped down the back of the fence only to emerge moments later in the crowd at the side of the stage, where he was mobbed by hundreds of excited fans.
