Foo Fighters festival set list
Based on records on Set List FM, Foo Fighters refuse to phone it in when they headline.
At each and every festival the group played in 2022, they performed at least 19 songs.
In addition to the sing-along hits you know and love like “Everlong,” “Best Of You,” “The Pretender,” “Learn To Fly” and “My Hero,” the band also mixes in covers from groups like Tom Petty, Queen and Jane’s Addiction.
What will they take to the stage this year?
We can’t say for certain but we do know is the best way to find out is live.
Foo Fighters new music
Although they’ve been active since 1994, Foo Fighters isn’t done experimenting.
In fact, their most recent record, “Dream Widow” under the fictional band Dream Widow, is a total departure from the band’s hard rock sound.
Over the course of eight tracks, the group goes full metal.
Billboard raved that “Dream Widow” sounded like it was “dragged from the belly of the beasts that are Metallica and Motorhead.”
The heavy songs, which can be heard in the group’s 2022 horror-comedy film “Studio 666″ can be heard here.
Foo Fighters movie
While Grohl and his bandmates aren’t known for their acting chops, the group went outside their comfort zone once again in 2022 and starred in “Studio 666” alongside comedy ringers Will Forte, Jeff Garlin, Whitney Cummings and Jenna Ortega.
For context, the Foo aren’t playing “Dream Widow” — that heavy metal band mentioned above are featured in the film’s prologue where we see the gruesome events that set the story in motion.
To kick things off, Dream Widow’s frontman offs his bandmates in 1993 at a cursed mansion.
26 years later, Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, keyboardist/pianist Rami Jaffee, bassist Nate Mendel and guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear settle into that very same mansion to record their next album.
Unfortunately, Grohl becomes possessed and hijinks ensue.
If you’d like to check out the film, “Studio 666” can be streamed on Amazon Prime for $3.99.
Taylor Hawkins replacement
Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins tragically passed away on March 25, 2022.
The group quickly scrapped their planned 2022 tour after the shocking news.
However, now that the group is back on the road, fans are wondering who could possibly replace Hawkins.
Pennsylvania classic rock station 94.3 WQCM speculated that potential candidates include Josh Freese (who’s played with Guns N Roses) and Rufus Taylor (son of Queen’s Roger Taylor).
They also suggested Hawkins’ 12-year-old son Shane who played a tribute concert with Foo Fighters would make a good fit.
Finally, after months of wondering, the band announced that Freese would officially be Hawkins’ successor back in May.
