The Wombats - Let's Dance To Joy Division (Reading 2021)

[@SAMHPWRTH]

Imagine releasing a song in 2007 and then the next wave of teenagers being able to smash it out word for word 14 years later

[@jacvic0790]

That's me!

[@khewitthome1436]

The irony is he was in a bar in Liverpool when Love will tear us apart came on and people got up and stared dancing. Ironic cos it's a pretty dam sad song.

[@jacksonhill2857]

I know this song word for word!!

[@millerhxc]

I'd actually forgotten how fun this song is. Good to see it getting such a good reception from people who I'm assuming must have been about 5 when this came out.

[@samxday]

Yup. They’re loving it. Still a classic

[@joshuadixon4932]

This comment makes me feel *so* old

[@millerhxc]

@@joshuadixon4932 haha yeh I was in Uni when this came out, I think. Haha

[@sonkei5273]

I was exactly 5 xddd

[@anotherinbetweener4335]

I was 12 when this song was released; I've never heard about them until last weekend when they perform for the first time in Argentina at Lollapalooza. Man, it was amazing!

[@jacksonmckelvie221]

Still got it after all these years

[@TRITZVR]

What a sight that crowd is after nearly 2 years 😍😍

[@JV-dt5ws]

So glad I got in to The Wombats in their early days.. I’ve met them so many times, friends with them on Facebook and we have messaged, Murph has gotten me in to gigs for free when I couldn’t afford as a student… this band defined my teenage years.

[@D__Sync]

They sound exactly like they do on the studio version! Incredible! What an absolute banger!!

[@Alberto_Cavalcante]

Indeed

[@amelie574]

I was right at the front for this and I actually had a spiritual awakening x

The wombats werent a bad band had 2 or 3 really good songs but this music had a very limited timeframe and an even smaller fan base at the time the world had moved on from this type of music way before the wombats got on the scene

[@End-Result]

Lol, the crowd all sing like proper suvveners innit, hilarious
