A Dutch rock star has shown unflappable cool while performing, casually plucking a beer hurled at him out of mid-air and skolling it as he crowdsurfed.

David Achter de Molen, lead singer of punk band John Coffey, was crowdsurfing at the Pinkpop music festival yesterday when a punter tossed a full beer at him in a plastic cup.

Despite apparently not seeing its flight, the musician nonchalantly plucked it with one hand, drained its contents, and continued his journey through the crowd to the raucous cheers of fans.

Video of the catch was filmed from the crowd at Pinkpop, an annual music festival held in the Dutch city of Landgraaf.

The punk band is named after a character from the iconic US book and film The Green Mile.

Michael Clarke Duncan played the role in the 1999 film.
