Iggy Pop at Chester Rocks Festival 2011

Legend Iggy Pop at Chester Rocks Festival
veteran rock musician performs with band The Stooges at 2011 event, Cheshire, England, UK
Iggy was headlining the festival at Chester Racecourse on Sunday evening, performing with his legendary punk backing band The Stooges.

Photographers were warned by the pit boss, that it was strictly three songs and then straight out from infront of the stage. It became quite clear in the first couple that Iggy wasn't keen on photographers, spitting water and kicking food down towards the pit. But great performance and energy of someone half his age.

Later I was passed a copy of his 'rider' - ie the detailed list of requests to the event organisers. This one stuck out for me;

"Iggy adores breaking cameras, so really it’s best not to get too close to him. Especially if he looks at you in a funny way. If he heads towards you looking like he’s about to grab the camera, he’s probably about to grab the camera. It’s a sort of clue"
