I was at Reading once, quite a few years ago, to mainly see Metallica.
There was this really shit, skater rock type band on in the afternoon (Good Charlotte?) and I wasn’t interested in them in the slightest, so went to get something to eat.
Whilst this band were playing (bearing in mind the majority of people there were for Metallica at that time of day) everyone that wasn’t 12, started throwing stuff at them.
The lead singer got in a mood and taunted everyone, saying something like “We’ve come all the way from America to blow you guys away. Is this how little respect you have? If you want to throw stuff at us, really go for it then.”
Cue an absolute torrent of every projectile imaginable. I think they fucked off early after that.

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
