Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed to thousands of people at Truck Festival this weekend, finishing her set with Murder On The Dancefloor. 

Over 25,000 people attended the festival in south Oxfordshire to enjoy a weekend of music, food and fun in the sunshine. 

Headlined by Wet Leg, Jamie T and The Streets, the festival also saw shows from established artists such as Declan Mckenna, who played on Friday evening (July 26), and The Kooks, who performed on Sunday (July 28).

Performing on the evening of Saturday (July 27) from 6.30 until 7.15pm, Ms Ellis-Bextor's energy was infectious and so was her choreography.

She performed songs including Get Over You, Groovejet (If This Ain't Love), Crying At The Discotheque, Hypnotized and Abba's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).

When she performed Hypnotized the crowd slowly started copying her dance moves, myself included, and by the end of the song the entire crowd was dancing together. It's moments like these that make a set so enjoyable and special. 

The sun was out and the crowds' spirits were high, and Ms Ellis-Bextor seemed grateful for the support from the festival-goers. 

It was clear throughout that Ms Ellis-Bextor was having a great time on stage, and not to mention she looked great too, wearing a pink sparkly dress, bright blue eye shadow and high heels. I was amazed at how she danced at them seemingly effortlessly. 

She interacted with the crowd throughout her 45 minute set, noting the chemistry between her and the audience multiple times and complimenting the dance moves of those at the front. 

As expected, her set finished with Murder On The Dancefloor, the one everyone appeared to be the most excited about. 

As soon as the intro to the song played the crowd cheered and straight away people sat on each other's shoulders, rising above the people standing.

Released in 2001, Murder On The Dancefloor returned to the Official Singles Chart Top 10 in January, thanks to its inclusion in the final scene of Saltburn.

It's no surprise that the crowd went wild for Murder On The Dancefloor considering the success of Saltburn, which was released in November last year. 

The song originally peaked at number two in December 2001, when it was beaten to the top spot by Daniel Bedingfield’s Gotta Get Thru This.

Towards the end of Ms Ellis-Bextor's set she hinted at a concert next April, and after seeing her perform at Truck, I would be keen to go. 

Those who missed out on this years Truck Festival can buy tickets for next year as they go on sale this Friday (August 2).
