Lethal Bizzle was pelted with bottles at Download today (June 15).
The UK grime star appeared at the metal festival's Tuborg Stage at 13.20 (BST), and there was a large crowd waiting for him. However a large number of them were not there for the music.
As soon as the backing tape started, a torrent of bottles – and tubs of Muller Rice which were being given away free onsite – were thrown in the rapper's direction.
Though he ploughed through with the set, Bizzle was visibly wrong-footed by the abuse, saying to the crowd: "We got set up didn’t we? We got set-up, motherfuckers! But we’re still gonna play!"
When the bottling did not stop, Bizzle became more agitated. At one point, he stood on the speaker stack, picked a bottle of vodka from his pocket and joked: "my bottle's glass."
However, at no point did it look like he was going to actually throw it, and the set concluded without further incident.
