The xx brought out another special guest as part of their Night + Day residency at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. Last night the band invited Savages‘ Jehnny Beth onstage to perform a special collaboration.
The band hand-picked a specially-curated line-up for each of their Brixton shows, with Cat Power and Beth performing a solo piano show with them in London last night.
Following Robyn joining them on stage for a cover of ‘With Every Heartbeat’ last week, this time Beth provided lead vocals for a volatile rendition of the track ‘Infinity’ from their 2009 debut album. See footage below.

The trio started the now legendary ‘Night + Day’ series back in 2013 with a run of specially curated gigs in Lisbon, Berlin and London. Now in support of their acclaimed new album I See You, they’ve applied the same treatment to their seven London shows. The xx have two more gigs of their ‘Night + Day’ residency at The O2 Academy Brixton before heading to perform at Cardiff Motorpoint Arena on March 17.
