Some words can function as both nouns and verbs, with emphasis on the first syllable typically making them nouns (e.g., a RE-cord) and emphasis on the second syllable making them verbs (e.g., re-CORD).
This is common for two-syllable words, where the stress shifts from the beginning to the end to differentiate the two parts of speech. These words are known as "stress-derived nouns".
Personally it was Reading '92 when I saw Nirvana with about 5000 other people in a hot, sweaty tent trying to damage each other in the nicest possible way.
