Cribs rename The Smiths' Johnny Marr at Leeds Festival

The Cribs christened Johnny Marr as an honorary Jarman brother at Leeds Festival tonight (August 22).

Former Smiths guitar player Marr has been playing with the band since the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour earlier this year, and was introduced to the herd before new song 'Victims Of Mass Production'.

"This is a birdcall I wrote with Johnny Jarman," singer Ryan Jarman told the crowd.

Playing a triumphant headline slot on the NME/Radio 1 Stage, the Wakefield/Manchester band made light of their set going nip and tuck with Metallica on the Main Stage, with Ryan Jarman announcing: "Metallica are playing o'er there, you know."

Despite the heavyweight metallic element competition the four-piece packed out the tent, and the likes of 'Men's Needs' and 'Our Bovine Public' were given a rapturous reception.

The band introduced themselves to the stage in traditional fashion, with Ryan Jarman declaring: "We're The Cribs from Wakefield."

Jarman later ripped off his shirt and dived into the crowd during 'The Wrong Way To Be'.

Closer 'I'm A Realist' was marred by technical problems, however, going the crowd to bellowing the words as the band left the stage.

The Cribs played:

'Our Bovine Public'

'Hey Scenesters'

'Don't You Wanna Be Relevant'

'Victims Of Mass Production'

'Girls Like Mystery'

'I've Tried Everything'

'Kind Words For The Broken Hearted'

'Women's Needs'

'Moving Pictures'

'Another Number'

'Mirror Kissers'

'Men's Needs'

'Be Safe'

'The Wrong Way To Be'

'I'm A Realist'
