  • As the Glastonbury music and performing arts festival got underway in June 2017, a purported screenshot of a news article about Radiohead fans wildly applauding a tuning session they mistook for a real song appeared on social media: The image mimics the format of a BBC news article, but the headline is nowhere to be found on the BBC's Radiohead artist page -- or anywhere else on the BBC web site. We found no record of this story in any other genuine news publication. The BBC's actual article about the band's performance at Glastonbury did not mention any awkward applause: Absorbing, challenging and achingly beautiful - Radiohead delivered a typically Radiohead sort of set for Glastonbury's opening night. The Oxford quintet emerged, bathed in white light, to the haunting piano refrain of Daydreaming, from last year's A Moon Shaped Pool album. Two hours and 25 songs later, they closed with Karma Police, singing: "For a minute there, I lost myself." It felt like a perfect metaphor for the band's power to transport an audience. The earliest iteration of the viral fake news article that we could find came from a pretty unusual source -- a London flower shop's Twitter account: BREAKING NEWS: #Glastonbury2017 pic.twitter.com/mkihP4KsHi — Arena Flowers (@ArenaFlowers) June 23, 2017 Although flower shops aren't known for throwing shade at Radiohead fans, Arena Flowers's Twitter account is full of similar jokes.

However, this article is reminiscent of another embarrassing musical moment when Ravi Shankar fans actually did applaud a tuning session:
