A 2007 Bloc Party gig in Utrecht, Holland came a very close second in the poll: the band was forced to stop playing when the crowd spotted a couple having sex in the audience. Suitably distracted from the gig, the audience felt inspired to have a go themselves and couples throughout the auditorium started having sex, prompting the band to slink off stage.
In third place is Britney Spears' April 2009 gig in Vancouver: Britney stormed off stage 15 minutes into her show, later claiming that the auditorium was too smoky for her to perform and she was uncomfortable with the number of fans smoking marijuana in the audience. When the gig finally resumed 40 minutes later, Britney told the crowd not to smoke weed.
