THE Kaiser Chiefs pulled off the loan transfer coup of the summer - in front of thousands of delirious fans.
Leeds' promotion-winning striker Patrick Bamford joined the rockers' homecoming gig on stage with a guitar.
Kalvin Phillips then heightened talk of a return to Elland Road by labelling his former team-mate a "legend" for his cameo.
Bamford electrified the atmosphere at Leeds' Temple Newsam still further as the crowd loved his surprise role.
Local heroes the Kaiser Chiefs are best known for their huge hit I Predict a Riot, which was also the theme tune for the Whites' party after Championship title glory last month.
But no-one predicted Bamford's appearance at the gig on the 20th anniversary of the group's first album.
The 31-year-old, who won a single England cap four years ago, also went down memory lane - or Elland Road - with his choice of shirt for the event.
He wore a Leeds top from 2000-01 with "Viduka 9" on the back.
Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004.
And he too reacted to Bamford's guitar-playing cameo.
But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege."
Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed Leeds' prolonged celebrations, including a trip to Vegas, after they pipped Burnley to the second-tier crown.
Daniel Farke's side are returning to the Premier League after two seasons out.
And many reckon Phillips will be making his own comeback - to Elland Road.
The 29-year-old has had a dire time since joining Manchester City in 2022, typified by injury and then mediocre loan spells at West Ham and Ipswich.
Phillips bigged up Bamford on Instagram as he responded to the star's rocking intervention by posting: "What an absolute legend".
That's also the status Phillips holds at his hometown club Leeds.
But the midfielder could be out for two months following surgery on an Achilles problem.
And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs bringing him on.
One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!”
Another wrote: "Great day out... Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."
