The B-52s partied on down at the Indigo 02 in Greenwich, London and I just had to go and photograph them.

They started their set with Planet Claire with Kate and Fred swapping vocals and vocal effects.

The B-52s were last in London in 2008 so it was a fantastic and rare opportunity to see them up close.

I have tried to use quite flattering pictures where possible and have increased the highlights slightly to show this off.

They have been touring the country ahead of their headline slot at Rewind The 80s Festival at Henley on Saturday.

Mesopotamia and Private Idaho followed giving the front three the chance to swap vocals and give the photographers a few group moments.

The crowd loved the start and with more hits including the moving Girl From Ipanema Goes to Greenland and Love Shack in the set, I am sure they would go bananas for the rest.

Here is the whole set here:
