Royal Blood Flip Off “Pathetic” Crowd At Radio 1’s Big Weekend

Radio 1 is the BBC’s version of an American Top 40 station, though it does venture outside a strictly pop format at night. Maybe that’s how modern rock mainstays Royal Blood got booked for Radio 1’s Big Weekend music festival right in between Niall Horan and Lewis Capaldi. The event — which took place last Friday-Sunday at Camperdown Park in Dundee, Scotland — apparently drew a different kind of crowd than Royal Blood are used to playing for. The rock duo didn’t take it so well.
