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

Part of this is because they have a reputation of playing the festivals frequently. One year at Reading there was a gap in the schedule and the rumour was that Dave Grohl was going to play so we hung around in the tent. He actually showed up as part of Them Crooked Vultures and did a set of their new album. That was a great gig.

Also the music video for "Low" is Dave Grohl & Jack Black getting weird in a motel room.
