The Performance
Serge Pizzorno, with his enigmatic presence, and Tom Meighan, with his raw, magnetic vocals, owned the stage. They didn’t just perform; they commanded. The crowd, a mass of ecstatic energy, roared back every word of the anthemic chorus, turning the fields into a living, breathing organism of sound and movement.
The Impact

As the chorus hit, “I’m on fire,” it felt like a communal ignition, a blaze of collective spirit and freedom.
