'Foo Fighters secret gig' chaos at Reading Festival

Thousands of fans hurl bottles and shoes at tiny Reading stage

I was there and had heard that there was a possibility that the foos were going to be playing so had ventured over to the stage. It was unbelievable how many people who had turned up who had heard the same thing and it was so uncomfortable to see how the new bands were being treated. Ive got respect for the bands to come out in the first place with the horrible atmosphere that alot of the crowd had made. I thought festivals were a place for everyone to get together and enjoy all music, whether that being established bands or new music. It just seems that there seems to be some people nowadays who turn up just to cause trouble and ruin it for others. If the foos were there and saw the way these "fans" behaved, im sure they would be disappointed and disgusted and wouldnt have played anyway. The F Fers sounded good for the time they were on and it was just a shame the the real music lovers were not able to hear the rest of their set.
