TMZ Music: Panic! Delivered Brutal Hint at Festival

Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendan Urie was hit by a bottle seconds into his band's set on the Main Stage at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival this afternoon. While beginning their opening song, the singer was struck in the face by the projectile thrown from the crowd. Urie immediately collapsed on the stage floor, forcing the group to stop playing. The singer was then surrounded by his band mates and roadies for several minutes before he managed to get back to his feet.
Panic! at the disco
Folks who attend the Reading Festival take a certain personal pride in the stature in which the Festival has obtained. Over the years they have established an infamous reputation for being brutally unforgiving when it comes to bands they believe lack in the credibility to play their stage.

This is not the first time a prominent American band has not faired too well at the Festival. At the 2004 Festival 50 CENT and his G Unit crew suffered the same fate.

6. That person nicked him just in time to keep him from repeating the same damn line over and over and over and over. The band has got to go back to school to learn how to really write for what they compose.

7. I'm impressed by Uries reaction. All along I thought these guys were this week's new fad, they seem pretty f***ing rock now though. Maybe these guys are here to stay, or at least crash a few nights.

8. While at a festival in the UK earlier this year, I witnessed the bottle launching phenomenon. What amazed me most is the practice of p***ing in them first.
