If you’re ever feeling a touch of imposter syndrome, or a twinge of obscurity, just remember the time Royal Blood’s frontman, Mike Kerr, couldn’t find his bearings in the sea of confused faces at Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival.

Kerr, obviously well-versed in the School of Hard Rocks, has successfully pushed the boundaries of the phrase “the show must go on.” He added his own footnote: “…unless the crowd doesn’t know you, in which case, throw a wobbly and call them pathetic.”

Let’s set the stage. (Pun very much intended.) It was a sunny day in Dundee, where the band was sandwiched between ex-One Direction member Niall Horan and everyone’s favourite Scottish singer song-writer, Lewis Capaldi. In hindsight, perhaps an odd choice to place a rock band between two pop maestros, but who are we to question the musical diet of festival-goers?

One can only imagine, the frontman of Royal Blood wasn’t exactly over the moon at not even a mention on the festival poster, who in fairness to them are playing the Pyramid stage later this summer at Glastonbury. However, in a scene worthy of a melodrama, Kerr, taking the reins as the frontman-cum-music-teacher, decided to conduct an impromptu pop quiz: ‘Do you know who we are?’. Unfortunately, the class was not prepared, and teacher Kerr was left, well, royally bloodied.

Some on social media have suggested that Royal Blood should’ve tried a bit harder to win over the crowd. It seems that rock musicians believe that their audiences consist only of diehard fans, each one equipped with a band t-shirt, a discography tattoo, and the ability to write a PhD thesis on their guitar solos.

Meanwhile, Tibasko, a band who also performed at the festival, says they love the “challenge” of “winning over new fans”. We assume they mean this in the non-verbal, musically pleasing way, rather than the call-them-out-on-their-musical-ignorance way.

So, let’s raise a toast to Kerr, the Royal Blood frontman, for reminding us all that the best way to win people over is definitely not to insult them.

And on that note, we leave you with a moment of silence for Kerr’s ego and a round of applause for every festival-goer’s new favourite game: ‘Name that Slightly Miffed Rockstar’. We’d sign off with something along the lines of ‘Here’s to more storming on-stage performances and less storming off-stage performances’ but hey it’s not true, we can’t get enough of artists leaving the arena with the middle finger aggressively flipped in the air and shouting expletives as they leave the stage, that’s ROCK AND ROLL!!
