Overview
- The Foo Fighters played two sold‑out headline shows at Anfield Stadium on June 25 and June 27, each running roughly three hours and featuring more than 20 songs from across their career.
- Both nights mixed stadium anthems and deeper cuts with high‑energy crowd interaction, including mass singalongs, a staged Rubik’s Cube/drumming moment later revealed to involve Grohl’s daughter’s boyfriend, and a fan briefly invited on stage in costume.
- Organisers issued travel and safety guidance for the extreme heat, ran an express 917 shuttle because there was no stadium parking, and provided accessibility measures such as British Sign Language interpretation.
- Critics praised the band’s live strengths but split over lengthy mid‑set medleys and set choices, and some commentary placed the performances in the context of Dave Grohl’s 2024 personal controversy and his recent return to large‑scale touring.
- The second night included a Beatles cover in Liverpool and ended with fireworks and Grohl telling the city he has a plan to come back, signaling the band’s intent to expand their UK dates in future tours.
