JOHNNY Borrell left the door open for a Razorlight return to Gloucester by telling festival goers; "we will see you again".
The band, whose self-titled second album reached the number one spot in the UK charts in 2006, rounded off another successful year for SportsBeat.
Crowds descended on Plock Court to watch the band bring the two-day festival to a close after the event boasted an impressive line-up of artists, from the Hoosiers and Soul II Soul to Reverend and the Makers and Matt Cardle.
The rain held off for Razorlight which kicked of an energetic performance with the opening track from its second album, In the Morning.
And the band did not disappoint and the crowd were able to sing along to favourites Golden Touch, Before I Fall to Pieces, Stumble and Fall and Rip it Up before final song America was met by rousing cheers.
Lead singer Johnny Borrell told the crowd: "Thank you very much – we will see you again."
The band was introduced to the stage by Jamie McDonald, the first person to run coast-to-coast across Canada without support, moments after Councillor Chris Chatterton told the crowd Sunday was his last day as Mayor "in this amazing city".
The band, which was formed in 2002 by lead singer Borrell, released its debut album, Up All Night, in 2004 which reached number three in the UK chart. Second album, Razorlight, went straight to number one in 2006 while the third studio album, Slipway Fires, was released in 2008 and made the top five.
Razorlight has supported a range of big acts including Oasis, Queen and the Rolling Stones as well as releasing a clutch of hits including In the Morning, America and Rock 'n Roll Lies.
SportBeat combines both sport and music and went down a storm when it debuted last year.
Organisers were keen to follow on from last year's success and failed to disappoint by coming back with even more in 2014.
The sports programme included rugby sevens, netball and volleyball, and there was also zorbing and laser tag to keep the youngsters amused.
One of the main aims of the organisers when they first decided to stage the festival was to get more people into the open air to try new sports, and that spirit continued with this year's event.
Fans of vintage items also had plenty to choose from, including affordable urban and contemporary art and vinyl, and there was also a silent disco, an inflatables area, local craft beers and a zone just for the under-fives.
SportBeat is the brainchild of former British volleyball player Jody Gooding and ex-Gloucester rugby player Jack Adams and tickets for next year's event go on sale on Tuesday.
