Fans were enraptured by the show, with many saying it was their highlight of the Cornish festival so far. Alexander Gold said: “Got my favourite surprise of possibly ever last night when Brett Anderson just hopped on stage with us to sing Pumping On Your Stereo. All my childreams seem to be weirdly coming true at the moment… holding out now for an audience with Optimus Prime.”

Meanwhile, Anderson is currently gearing up for the release of Suede’s eighth studio album The Blue Hour, to be supported by a number of UK and European tour dates.
Two singles have already been released from the record, which is due on September 21. They are ‘Invisibles’ and ‘Don’t be Afraid if Nobody Loves You’
Of the album, Anderson recently told NME: “It’s quite dank and troubling. A lot of this is about the terrors of childhood, so it’s quite unpleasant in lots of ways. I think Suede should be unpleasant, that’s the point of a band like Suede. Whenever we’ve tried to pleasant, it never works.”
