Now, Foos have a tiny couple of days’ break before they headline Hellfest in France, on June 30. This month alone they’ve also played massive shows in Manchester, Glasgow, London and Cardiff.

At the first of their spectacular dates in the capital, at the London Stadium, we said in our review: “It wasn’t so long ago we had to face the potential prospect of bidding farewell to Foo Fighters, after an overwhelming tragedy struck their ranks. Thankfully, we didn’t have to.

“And when, an hour after they’ve left the stage to an explosive firework display and the fans slowly filing back to Stratford station are still singing the ‘whoa’ refrain from Best Of You, you’re reminded how important it is that they’re still here. For them. For us. For music. What a night!”
