It's not strictly news, but this hilarious report from NME.com from the weekend's Reading Festival certainly raised a chuckle...

"'Foo Fighters Secret Gig' Ends In Chaos"

"Rumours of a Foo Fighters secret gig at the Reading Festival resulted in thousands of fans causing chaos in front of the BBC Introducing Stage.

A British punk band named The FF'ers were billed to be playing on the stage at 5pm (BST), causing rumours to spread around the site that the band name was a pseudonym for Dave Grohl's band.

By the time 5pm came around 3,000 fans had gathered around the small stage. When The FF'ers came on they were bottled by the angry fans, who were expecting to see the aforementioned US rockers play a secret show. The FF'ers had to abandon their set due to the chaos.

Despite the rumours of the secret show being scuppered by The FF'ers' brief appearance, most of the fans remained by the stage. The next band on, Underground Railroad, received a similar treatment to The FF'ers, with fans hurling mud, bottles and shoes at them."
