 The BBC reports that Kasabian have proved, beyond a doubt, that rock music has a place in the future of Creamfields.
The rockers unveiled their most ambitious live production yet to close the main stage at the dance music festival, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Their road crew began work on the stage shortly after Fatboy Slim's headline set the previous night, building a series of projection screens set at different angles, giving the impression of collapsing in on themselves.
Taking to the stage and launching into Shoot The Runner, from their second album Empire, the band performed in front of swirling, psychedelic effects similar to the opening credits of the older series of Doctor Who.
Speaking before the set, guitarist Serge Pizzorno said: "We tried to make it look like we were inside a television looking out at everyone.
"It's mental, it's like 70s rock, techno-psychedelia."
Wearing huge black rock star shades and a waistcoat with what appeared to be a massive rose on it, singer Tom Meighan did his best to work up the crowd as the band played Cutt Off, followed by live favourite Processed Beats.
Serge Pizzorno added new lyrics lifted from The Kinks' You Really Got Me and White Lines by Melle Mel.
Kasabian also chucked a couple of new songs into the set.
