Glasvegas were reportedly forced to end their V Festival set early last night (August 20) after crowd members repeatedly threw bottles at them.

According to online reaction from concert goers, the band only lasted for four songs before walking offstage during their set at Hylands Park in Chelmsford. Glasvegas, who were sandwiched in between Katy B and Chase and Status on the festival's Arena Stage are reported to have argued with a crowd member, who continued to throw bottles at them. They then attempted to restart their set, before eventually deciding to walk offstage for good after the bottles continued to fly.

NME.COM user DJ Cull, who was in the crowd, described the set, writing simply: "4 songs, an argument, an aborted restart and a walk-off."

Loaded Magazine, who have been tweeting live from the festival fromTwitter.com/loadedmag, also saw the incident. They wrote: "Audience bottled band [Glasvegas]." Asked for more detail by a follower, they replied: "Too many bottles. Had a ruck. Walked off."

The band have not commented on the incident as yet. More details will be added to this story as we get them.
