Linkin Park were one of three headliners at French open air metal festival Hellfest, which took place this past weekend. Of course, they aren't exactly the heaviest band going these days, and the French crowd let them hear about it during their performance.
As one can see in some fan-shot footage below, Bennington had an empty beer pitcher lobbed at him from the crowd, while others flipped him the bird instead. It comes nearly a month after Bennington told fans he would "punch you in the fucking mouth" if you think they sold out.
According to some tweets after the fact, Bennington didn't let it get to him.

Hell fest was fun. Had a blast watching people mosh to In the End and then flip me off when we played Heavy. I blew them kisses😘

After I blew kisses to the guys flipping me off. They smiled and gave me heart hands back.

I welcomed the huge crowd of condemned souls to HELLFEST in my metal voice then we played Invisible. The look of shock on people's faces😮🤣

All kidding aside.... the crowd was great and handled our set pretty well. Our French fans are awesome.

Does anyone else find it funny that the same people calling us sellouts are suggesting that we change our set to conform to HELLFEST 😂
