In this litigious day and age, James Gostelow’s reaction to being elbowed in the head by one of Britain’s most famous women was refreshing: "Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse.”

The Londoner, who became suddenly famous after last weekend’s scuffle added: “It is all part of the Glastonbury experience.”

Perhaps Gostelow’s relaxed attitude comes from knowing that he has earned a place in rock’s long history of fan versus the band scuffles.

Here, we bring you the top ten.

10, Daphne and Celeste

When one-hit wonders Daphne and Celeste made their ill-advised decision to play at the 2000 Reading festivals, the audience were not impressed. In a unified show of disgust, festivalgoers pelted the pair with bottles. Others might have left the stage, red-faced, but the ever-perky Daphne and Celeste saw fit to launch into that most aggravating of songs Ooh Stick You.

9. Kiss

Forget what you’ve heard about the constantly changing Kiss line-up, when it comes to fans with laser torches, the made-up men of rock stick together. When a cheeky punter at a 1998 New Jersey concert shone a laser in Paul Stanley’s face, Gene Simmons leapt to his defence. Killing the music, the Kiss frontman spent an admirable amount of time and creativity publicly humiliating the man who he quickly re-named ‘arsehole’, ‘big man’ and ‘schmuck’. Memorable lines included: ‘Hey schmuck, take that laser out one more time and I’ll put it right up your arse’.

8. Panic at the Disco

It wasn’t so much a ‘band versus fan’ moment as a ‘fan wins outright immediately’ moment. When Panic at the Disco took the stage at last year’s Reading Festival, frontman Brendon Urie didn’t even make it through the first song before an audience member lobbed a bottle at the right side of his head, knocking him out.
