Sometimes fans don't get to see the backstage antics of musicians so Newsbeat has kept its eyes on what has been going on.

OLLY TURNS DETECTIVE

Olly Murs told Newsbeat that he's been playing journalist and asking Radio 1 breakfast host Grimmy whether the rumours are true about him joining the X Factor as a judge.

Unfortunately for Olly, Grimmy didn't reveal anything.

RAURY'S WARM-UP

Raury wanted to show us his crystal - so here it is!

Newsbeat spied singer Raury's warm-up routine, which consisted of walking around in a large circle, talking (possibly singing) to himself, and contorting his body into some weird shapes.

He also told us about his love for crystals.

LOWER THAN ATLANTIS THOUGHT IT COULD GET AWKS WITH DAVE GROHL

Lower Than Atlantis weren't entirely happy that they were having to scoot off to perform at another festival. Why?

Well, it might be to do with an embarrassing moment with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl.

Lead singer Mike Duce confessed to meeting his idol Dave once.

Five minutes later, he realised he was still holding on to him. Mike was branded "a weirdo" by Grohl himself.

SOAK GOT CONFUSED

Soak, who's good mates with George Ezra, said she got a little confused when Newsbeat reporter Jimmy Blake rocked up.

She thinks he's the spitting image of George.

She made him take off his glasses to compare and contrast.

BIZZLE'S BLOCKED BOG

Lethal Bizzle confessed that he blocked one of the girl's toilets.

He apologised to whoever had to use the facility after him.

But added "when you need to go, you go". Thanks B.
