Siouxsie and the Banshees
To be honest, I didn't go to Reading Festival specifically to see Siouxsie, but there was a great sense of expectation because they hadn't played live together for years. The main arena was packed as they came on, and they went straight into their latest single which got a huge, huge cheer. Then came the bombshell:

"We're not going to treat you like kids and play the old stuff. This is from the new album..."

I've never seen 20,000 pairs of shoulders slump so quickly, nor the words "Bollocks to that" spoken by so many people at once.

(I'm an ageing New Rom and I've seen SatB since and they were ACE. We got them in a bad mood that day, because true to their word, we got a play-through of their new long-player, and off.)
