The Vaccines graced Absolute Radio HQ this afternoon (30th September) for a very special live performance during Bush & Richie’s 24 Hour Jukebox.

Fresh from denting the UK album chart Top 5 with their acclaimed fifth-longer player ‘Back in Love City’ earlier this month, Justin Hayward-Young, Freddie Cowan, Árni Árnason, Timothy Lanham and Yoann Intonti treated us to a very special three-song set.

Broadcast during Bush & Richie’s 24 Hour Jukebox, which is raising vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, The Vaccines performed a rousing rendition of their seminal 2011 single ‘If You Wanna’ plus recent singles ‘Headphones Baby’ and ‘Alone Star.’

Together with performing live frontman Justin also joined Bush & Richie on air for a chat. Check out all three live performances below!
