Plan B included covers of Paolo Nutini and The Police as part of his set at Wireless music festival in London's Hyde Park this evening.
The 27-year-old singer-songwriter kick-started his slot on the main stage with 'Writing's On The Wall'.
He then proceeded to address the 65,000 festival-goers with: "London, we welcome you all to motherf**kin hell", which led on to a performance of The Defamation Of Strickland Banks album track 'Welcome To Hell'.
As the sun shone brightly across the park, the rapper - real name Ben Drew - exclaimed: "Well, what f**king wonderful weather we have today," receiving cheers from the crowd.
After singing his hits 'Prayin'' and 'The Recluse', Drew announced that he would cover Paolo Nutini's 'Coming Up Easy', stating: "Hey London, do you smoke weed? I think this song is about smoking it. It's one of my favourites, just a bit sped up."
Drew concluded his set with a performance of his highest charting single 'She Said' before declaring: "It's karaoke time" and ending the set with a dubstep remix of The Police classic 'Stand By Me'.
