If I described Marina as fierce, she’s not even on the same scale as the dynamo that is Robyn (although they’re both supporting Coldplay so they’re obviously both winning at life – I’m not even a Coldplay fan but they seem to be like a big deal). I have NEVER seen a more energetic performance (not even from Florence – different style) and despite being a bit of a shit fan and only knowing her singles, as well as Show Me Love obviously (nineties-style) I loved it all. Girl got moves. The visuals were amazing, colourful and mad like Robyn herself. She’s just got so much attitude and her move from popster in the 90s to complete punky siren mentalist now could not have been more successful. She also sang a little bit of Dancing Queen (Sweden, baby) which thrilled my heart. If you ever get a chance to see her live, just DO IT.

Support was from Summer Camp, whose backing visuals featured dance scenes from old movies (genius), and a random woman dressed a mermaid (cracking voice but no idea who she was).
