My Live Nation rep was like, 'Dude, there's never been this many people here at this time of day. You should go out there and just pretty much f**k 'em up!'" He added to "It was the most insane crowd we had ever played for, and we just destroyed them. "We only had eight or 10 songs to play, because we only had like a 30- or 40-minute slot; but man, we just absolutely brought the house down — and the crowd was so, so good." It comes just days after we reported a US music festival had been scrapped for bad weather.

Meanwhile, Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue was forced to cancel four of her shows in Europe due to illness.
