NME.com is reporting:
THEM CROOKED VULTURES made a surprise appearance at the Leeds Festival this afternoon (August 28), playing an unannounced show on the NME/Radio 1 Stage.
The band – QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE's Josh Homme, FOO FIGHTERS' Dave Grohl and former LED ZEPPELIN bassist John Paul Jones, along with guitarist Alain Johannes – had kept their appearance a secret, not confirming they were playing until just hours before the show.
Rumours had circulated about their possible appearance since the band played a surprise support slot with ARCTIC MONKEYS – who headline in Leeds tonight – in London earlier in the week.
At around 4pm (BST) a drum kit with Them Crooked Vultures' logo was wheeled onto the stage, prompting cheers from fans. 15 minutes later the four-piece walked on stage to even louder cheers.
