Mike Kerr Life story
Royal Blood: How not to win over a festival crowd
By Francesca OsborneNewsbeat reporter
Chances are if you're heading to a Music Festival this summer you won't know every artist in the line-up.
For many, one of The Best things about The Experience is discovering new music.
If you find yourself dancing along to a new act, not knowing all The Words , you'd hope The Artist wouldn't storm off stage angrily.
But that's exactly what Royal Blood 's frontman is being accused of at their performance at Radio 1 's Big Weekend.
Mike Kerr swore at The Crowd in Dundee and labelled them " pathetic" for not Knowing Who The Group were or being fans of rock music.
The Band 's performance isn't 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 .
'Immature behaviour'Lots of fans have taken to Social Media to call out Royal Blood 's " cringey" behaviour and say The Band should've worked harder to win over The Crowd .
They were On Stage on Sunday before former One Direction star Niall Horan and Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi .
And Some People tweeted in defence of The Band , with a few asking why they were placed between two huge pop acts.
Harrison Brocklehurst is a music journalist at The Tab and thinks the Royal Blood 's " immature behaviour" will really " backfire".
He thinks it's important that bands realise it's unlikely The Crowd at festivals will be full of " diehard fans".
Scottish singer-songwriter Emeli Sande completely agrees and thinks that festivals are very different to when you are doing your own show.
" I assume usually at a festival, that no-one knows who you are, " she told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme.
For Emeli, it's more of a case of " winning people over" and explaining who you are, if people haven't heard your songs.
But what is The Best way to get a crowd on side, if they don't know who you are?
Tibasko, who performed on The Bbc Music Introducing stage at Camperdown Park in Dundee, say they love the " challenge" of " winning over new fans".
" When we're DJing we like to spot these little of pockets of people who aren't dancing too much and see what we can do to make them dance, " they say.
For Tibasko's Andy Bowden, there's nothing as fulfilling as when you see someone who starts The Set " a little bit confused" but ends it dancing away in The Front row.
And his bandmate Ken Petalcorin agrees that Royal Blood have missed an opportunity to " persuade some new fans to check out their music".
