The National Lose Instruments; Cold War Kids + Andrew Bird To The Rescue!

Uncut is reporting that at this weekend's Latitude Festival in Suffolk, The National lost all of their equipment on their way to the camp grounds. Yikes.

Here's more: *Visibly slightly uncomfortable with the situation, vocalist Matt Berninger, paused between songs to repeat how sorry they were for not having their kit on stage.

Thankfully, Cold War Kids and Andrew Bird, both playing the main stage [as well], stepped in to lend the quintet all the of the instruments they needed.*
