Oasis check out The White Stripes at Hyde Park

The White Stripes were watched by the likes of Oasis and The View as they kicked off the London leg of the 02 Wireless Festival at Hyde Park tonight (June 14).

After two 'warm-up' gis in the UK capital this week, Jack and Meg White played their first gig 'proper' in front of a crowd that included Oasis bandmates Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer and The View's Kyle Falconer.

The White Stripes only played three songs from new LP 'Icky Thump', out next week (June 18) - the title track and single, 'I'm Slowly Turning Into You' and 'A Martyr For My Love For You'.

The rest of the set was made up of classics including the singles 'Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground', 'Hotel Yorba' and traditional closer 'Seven Nation Army'.

Jack and Meg had two big screens either side of them which showed them and the crowd in red and white monochrome. Jack rarely spoke, other than to express his pleasure at playing in the legendary park, and to express his awe at support act Queens Of The Stone Age's performance.

The White Stripes played:

'Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground'

'When I Hear My Name'

'Hotel Yorba'

'Icky Thump'

'I'm Slowly Turning Into You'

'I Think I Smell A Rat'

'I'm A Martyr For My Love For You'

'Jolene'

'Ball & Biscuit'

'Blue Orchid'

'The Denial Twist'

'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself'

'We're Going To Be Friends'

Earlier, Queens Of The Stone Age mixed songs from new album 'Era Vulgaris' with old classics like 'Go With The Flow' and 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer'. Before that, Perry Farrell's new band Satellite Party dug out his old Jane's Addiction classic 'Been Caught Stealing' during their main stage set.

Other bands who performed on the day included XFM Stage headliners Air and The Bees, who both played to massive crowds.

On the Main Stage other highlights included the reformed post-punk outfit The Only Ones and Danish indie hopefuls The Kissaway Trail.
