Indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs brought Bedgebury alive with hits new and old for their sell-out Forest Live gig.

Thousands sang and chanted along with lead singer Ricky Wilson for the gig at Bedgebury Pinetum in Goudhurst as the band belted out hits including Ruby and I Predict a Riot.

Before they had come on stage, support acts four-piece post-punk band Spring King and up-and-coming Leeds band Vitamin got the crowd going.

There was the usual relaxed atmosphere at Bedgebury and good-natured feel, which even extended to the queue for the toilets.

The highlight of the night was I Predict A Riot which had the whole crowd on their feet and singing along.

Ricky Wilson's energetic performance included singing and talking to the crowd from the top of scaffolding and getting the crowd to sing "Kaiser Chiefs" at the top of their voices. There was an outing for plenty of the material on the band's latest album, Stay Together.

There was also the wow factor as an explosion of confetti into the crowd.

The band tweeted after the gig: "Cheers #Bedgebury! You were top x"

Singing legend Sir Tom Jones had taken to the stage the night before.

Both concerts were part of the Forestry Commission's Forest Live tour, which is an annual event and brings big names to the Bedgebury site for two nights each summer.
