Talk about not knowing your arse from your Elbow…
This might be something to keep an eye out for later on this weekend at Electric Picnic.
English rock band Elbow were performing in Bristol’s Downs Festival on Saturday night, when an extremely nude man took the stage mid-song.
Security ran over to attempt to get the streaker off stage ASAP, but front-man Guy Garvey diffused the situation amazingly by walking straight over to the naked dude and have a bit of a slow dance with him.
Fair warning: there is some nudity in the clip below, but then you probably should’ve known that by now…

The trio are due to take the main stage at Electric Picnic at 9pm tonight, right after Chaka Khan but right before Duran Duran (that is an INCREDIBLE trio of acts, just FYI).
While we don’t recommend or condone anyone perform a copycat nude invasion on the stage, it would be interesting to see another Garvey reaction to nude men suddenly appearing in his performance space.
