Reply to TIL a UK punk band called the FF'ers were bottled at the Reading Festival in 2008 after rumours circulated their set was a secret Foo Fighters gig. Their bassist said items thrown included "bottles, shoes, clumps of earth, phones, a full packet of cigarettes (exactly what we needed after the gig)" by electricmaster23
at the same festival (the Leeds version) the rumours also went around that foos were doing a secret gig too. Slipknot pulled out last minute because Joey broke his leg and the rumour was Grohl was gonna fill in for him.
Turns out tenacious D came out instead.
Good weekend that.

Yeah but they were supposed to be on after slipknot. The massive crowd half expecting to get a Grohl/Slipknot mashup were treated to TD. Or should I say TD were treated to a much larger than expected crowd which they mentioned several times (also they were the last slot before Metallica and Jack Black mentioned several times that was a dream fantasy bucket list achievement for him to open for Metallica and he got a bit emotional)
