Foo Fighters ProfileFoo Fighters are back in Australia, taking over stadiums across the country this month – in January, they’ll headline stadiums in New Zealand and present a show in Perth.
The Australian tour kicked off at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Thursday (5 November). The American rockers are promoting their latest album, Your Favorite Toy, released earlier this year, but they still keep plenty of room for the hits.
As the band made their way to the stage last night, frontman Dave Grohl stacked – he ran up the runway, excited to be back on our shores, and fell over. But he didn’t let that deter him from an evening of rock and roll anthems.
If you don’t like seeing spoilers, look away now as we’ll be delving into the first setlist of the tour.
Foo Fighters shows typically feature about 25 songs, including medleys, and in Brisbane there were 26, thanks to the tour debut of Baker Street in the encore. Plus, according to setlist.fm, the song Exhausted was on the written setlist, to be performed before Everlong, but wasn’t played.
The band launched into the show with All My Life, The Pretender, and Times Like These – all-time classic anthems – and the fan favourites didn’t stop there. The evening also featured My Hero, Learn to Fly, Big Me, Monkey Wrench, Best of You, Everlong, and Aurora, which was dedicated to their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
Check out the first setlist of the tour below.
