If you're heading to a music festival this summer, chances are you won't know all of the artists on the lineup.

For many, one of the best things about the experience is discovering new music.

If you find yourself dancing to a new number, without knowing all the words, you hope the performer doesn't angrily walk off stage.

But that's exactly what the frontman of Royal Blood is accused of during his performance at Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Mike Kerr swore at the crowd in Dundee and called them "pathetic" for not knowing who the band was or being fans of rock music.

The band's performance is not available on BBC iPlayer but a video shared by The Rock Revival has over 20 million views on Twitter.

Newsbeat has contacted Radio 1 and a representative for royal blood.

Many fans have taken to social media to decry Royal Blood's "gritty" behavior and say the band should have worked harder to win the title. crowd.< /p>
