Odd Future Pelted with Bottles


Odd Future was run off the stage in Scotland at the T in the Park Music Festival after audience members began pelting the band with water bottles...

From NME
The controversial hip-hop collective performed on the NME/Radio 1 Stage this afternoon, but were met a torrent of missiles from a worked-up crowd.

Having broken his foot, Tyler, The Creator walked onstage on crutches.

The first bottle was thrown just before 'French!', and after an initial torrent, Left Brain retaliated by opening up water bottles on the stage and throwing them back into the crowd. One of them hit a boom arm camera in the lens.

After one bottle from the audience hit a cameraman in the face, Syd Tha Kid high-fived the perpetrator. Then, when Odd Future's tour manager was told to make the band stop retaliating, he at first shrugged, before minutes later removing all full water bottles from the stage.

The chaotic show came to an end 20 minutes before its allotted time with 'Radical', during which a clearly angry Left Brain shouted: "We ain't playing your motherfucking game."
