Tonight, Hot Chip performed a cover version of Beastie Boys‘ iconic ‘Sabotage’ track at All Points East festival – watch the video below.
The festival takes place at London’s Victoria Park from today (May 24) for the next fortnight. Big names like The Chemical Brothers, The Strokes, Christine and The Queens, Bon Iver, Bring Me The Horizon and Mumford and Sons will all headline the main stage across the next two weekends, ensuring that this year’s festival season will start with an almighty bang.
Playing tonight (May 24) on the East Stage, Hot Chip’s hour set consisted of various tracks – new and old – but one that really caught the attention of fans was their cover of ‘Sabotage’ by legendary hip-hop trio Beastie Boys.
