Touring in support of their latest release Sleep Well Beast, The National performed at London’s All Points East Festival at Victoria Park on June 2.

The indie quintet opened the show with a couple of newer cuts – Sleep Well Beast‘s opener “Nobody Else Will Be There” followed by “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness – before throwing it back to their 2013 release Trouble Will Find Me with “Don’t Swallow The Cap.”

Later, the band performed their newest song “Light Years,” which they debuted in April at their own Homecoming Festival in Cincinnati. For the new track, they also welcomed Emily and Jessica Staveley-Taylor of the British folk trio The Staves to add additional vocals.

However, the Stavely-Taylors weren’t the band’s only guests on June 2. Near the tail end of their single set, The National invited The War On Drugs bandleader Adam Granduciel to the stage for “Terrible Love” and “About Today,” the latter of which was dedicated to singer-songwriter Scott Hutinson of the Scottish indie-rock outfit Frightened Rabbit, who went missing and was later found deceased in May.

“Devastated by the loss of Scott Hutchison who gave so much with his beautiful music,” Bryce Dessner of The National tweeted following the news of Hutchinson’s passing.

The National closed the show with an equally pensive, acoustic version of “Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks.”
