Inhaler took the stage after Sigrid on Saturday and transformed the crowd into indie rock fanatics. The band members walked on one-by-one, the lights on either side of the stage becoming orange and green – an ode to their home country, Ireland.

Fans were absolutely stunned when the band came on – the day they had visualised in their head for so long was finally here.

Fans waved their Irish flags in the air as the four-piece started their set with Dublin in Ecstasy. Starting with this belter meant that even bigger tunes were to come.

“Alright Glasgow Green, how we doin’? We see you!” Elijah Hewson welcomed the crowd.

The only criticism I have is – Elijah, were you not boiling in that jacket?!

By the time Inhaler came on, it was super packed and difficult to move among the crowd. Everyone was there. All eyes were on Inhaler.

The subtle “‘Ow are you?” from Elijah sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Drummer Ryan McMahon delivered a cymbal-crashing performance, ideal for the festival, while Robert Keating’s (Bobby Skeetz) and Josh Jenkinson’s accompaniment was top-notch.

While security tried to get the crowd off each other’s shoulders, they didn’t succeed, as Inhaler got the crowd so hyped that they let loose.

A standout track of their set was Billy (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah) which brought the Scottish crowd jumping together.
