Franz Ferdinand welcome new members at festival
Including an NME.COM writer...
Franz Ferdinand were joined onstage by 11 extra drummers during their set at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival tonight (August 25) - including an NME.COM writer.
The band were joined by a host of celebrity tubthumpers during encore song 'Outsiders', including members of Kaiser Chiefs, The Long Blondes, Fields, Towers Of London and NME.COM's Alan Woodhouse.
Speaking afterwards, Woodhouse told us: "I was amazing. Err...well, I did my best."
