Mind-bending ‘music festival’ picture sends Twitter wild

A ‘trippy’ picture of what appears on first glance to be thousands of revellers enjoying a music festival has gone viral.

A Twitter user posted a snap that looked like a huge crowd at either Glastonbury or Coachella – but all is not as it seems.

The confusing picture actually shows a combine harvester driving through a cotton field – but it fooled thousands of people who admitted it pulled the wool over their eyes.
