COURTEENERS returned to headline Saturday's Neighbourhood Weekender, four years after they were the headline act at the very first NBHD festival in Victoria Park, in 2018.
Other acts included Example, The Fratellis, Scouting for Girls, and DMA's.
Courteeners frontman, Liam Fray, donned a Cruella Deville-esque coat for most of his band's set - a set that was plagued with long gaps between songs, and what seemed to be technical issues with LED screens.
Despite this, the crowd revelled in the Manchester band's performance, from their opening track (aptly named "The Opener") to the crowd-pleaser "Not Nineteen Forever."
From the off, flares were struck, people were on shoulders, and drinks were launched in the air - just another day at a festival, really.
With a set that lasted just shy of an hour-and-a-half, Courteeners played some of their biggest hits, alongside slower tracks like "Small Bones" and "Smiths Disco."
The band did a warmup gig in Middlesborough on Friday night, and given the crowd's reaction to them at NBHD on Saturday night, it's safe to say that the gig in 'Boro certainly helped.
Courteeners were formed in 2006, and in that time have visited Warrington a number of times - including paying tribute to Viola Beach in 2017 at a charity gig held at the Parr Hall.
The group were called "The best band of past 10 years" by U2 frontman, Bono, and in 2016 their song "Not Nineteen Forever" was ranked number 59 in Radio X's Best of British Poll.
Courteeners are next set to perform at Y Not Festival at the end of July.
