Overview
- The Foo Fighters played a roughly three‑hour, career‑spanning set at Anfield on Thursday, June 25, running through classics such as “All My Life,” “The Pretender,” “Best of You” and “Everlong.”
- A staged moment where an audience member completed a Rubik’s Cube before joining the band on drums was later revealed by Dave Grohl to involve his daughter Harper’s boyfriend, who was celebrating his 18th birthday.
- Organisers and the Met Office warned of high temperatures before the shows and Liverpool FC issued hot‑weather guidance for fans, while stage times, travel routes and a no‑parking policy were confirmed for the second night.
- Local reaction to the first gig mixed celebration with rivalry when “You’ll Never Walk Alone” played as the lights came up and drew cheers from many Liverpool supporters and boos from rival fans.
- The band posted “LIVERPOOL: DO YOU WANT MORE???” on Instagram and will play the second Anfield show on Saturday evening, with reporters and outlets watching for how the final night and any wider UK plans will unfold.
