Jamie: 'We went to the site the day before to watch it being set up and make some small changes. In Berlin people were hanging advertisements up, which we were strictly against so we had to get them to take them down. Making sure there was no branding everywhere was also important because it was our own thing and we wanted it to concentrate on the music' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi



Romy: 'People kept telling us there was this theme park they’d broken into before. I was quite impressed we managed to put on a festival there – it’s quite a health hazard! I’m not sure if it would have been approved in England – there was definitely the prospect of someone getting quite hurt! You could climb into the tunnel of the rollercoasters or on top of the big wheel' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi

Romy: 'We used to play to older crowds, people over 30 … now there are a lot of people our age and younger, it’s exciting and a bit more nerve-racking because it’s your peers' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi

Romy: 'These are the biggest things we’ve ever done in terms of our own shows. The aim was to do something with a bit more personality than, say, the O2 in London or whatever. We wanted to give people the sense that we’d thought about more than just walking on stage and performing' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi


Jamie: 'It was pouring with rain at times but everyone was in good spirits – they seemed happy sitting in the wet grass getting muddy. It was such a weird, eerie, setting that I think the rain worked really well' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi


Romy: 'Our music was all written at night so it suits playing late shows. We’ve played at 4pm in the blazing sunshine but the night is best – it adds mystery' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi

Romy: 'Going into this tour for the second album, we were aware that we needed a show that worked in a bigger venue – so that the person at the back of a field can still get into it' Photograph: Alexandra Waespi
