The loveable pink bear that has featured throughout the band’s promotion of Young Dumb Thrills was certainly noticeable during its appearance in Nottingham. This was another personal highlight of the show as this joyful pop song did in fact radiate infinite happiness across the venue. The band then sang one of their most current and most popular singles ‘Happiness’, as they were joined by the 50ft fuchsia teddy bear which can be seen on the front cover of their latest album Young Dumb Thrills.
