The Wombats premiered a new song during their slot at this year's V Festival.

The trio showcased previously-unheard track called 'Shock Goodbyes and P45s', which is expected to feature on their forthcoming second album.

Matthew Murphy told the crowd: "We played here in 2007. I guess that was the start of our album, and I guess this is the end of it, so try and enjoy yourselves."

The group opened their 40-minute set with 'Party in a Forest (Where's Laura?)' from their debut album A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, later followed by 'Patricia The Stripper', which Murphy described as a song "about falling in love with a whore".

They continued with a string of tracks from their latest LP This Modern Glitch, admitting that this would be one of their last live appearances for a while, before closing with 'Backfire at the Disco'.
