As part of their long-awaited ‘Loud Kids World Tour’ in support of their third album ‘Rush!‘, the Italian former Eurovision winners took to the stage at The O2 for their biggest UK headline show to date, playing to a massive 20,000 fans.

A climax of the gig came when the band continued their ritual of inviting fans on stage for their performance of album highlight ‘Kool Kids’.

“It’s a song we’ve been criticised a lot for because they say we copy you fucking British,” frontman Damiano David told the crowd, adding: “It’s a little bit true!”

He continued: “We’re hated all around the world for this tradition, but again we don’t give a shit”.

In a four-star review of the show, NME described the moment: “Inviting a small army of fans in fishnets and leather to invade the stage, you see the cult of Måneskin manifest.

“There’s no mention of Eurovision and they’ve dropped their covers of indie disco hits (including Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’) from the setlist. It’s a sign of how far they’ve come on their own terms with two fingers up to the haters. You don’t need gimmicks, you just need a good time.”

Other peaks with the band delivering their fan favourite ‘I Wanna Be Your Slave’ twice. Check out The O2 performance of that below.

With a stacked year ahead that includes a stop at Glastonbury Festival in June, Måneskin will then be continuing their world tour with dates in Europe, North America, South America and Asia, before ending with a return to the UK and Ireland.
