Geldof and his band preformed at the Volksfest Festival in Plymouth, Devon on Sunday. Local paper, The Torquay Herald Express reports that the band played “a full 75 minute set”. Geldof made no reference to Peaches during the appearance and fans described his performance as “remarkable” considering the tragic circumstances.

A festival goer told the newspaper that Geldof, “must be hurting deep down but there was no sign of that and he was a real pro.” Adding, "We thought he might have said something or devoted a song to Peaches perhaps but there was no mention of her.”
