The FFers did have a MySpace page, it had no music on it and the only display photo was a tiny photo of Dave Grohl. They also had a quote of some Foos lyrics on there.
They massively lent into the rumour and used it in their marketing after the festival.

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
Missing a few vital details here.
