While it’s no 44-song setlist a la Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, Foo Fighters performed their first full concert since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins yesterday (Wednesday, 24 March).
The band’s first gig with touring drummer Josh Freese (The Offspring, Devo, The Vandals) was a career-spanning set of 21 songs, featuring new tracks Rescued, Under You, Nothing At All and the title track from their upcoming album, But Here We Are.
Elsewhere on the set, the Foo Fighters played In Your Honour’s Cold Day In The Sun for the first time in five years. They also ripped through the classics Breakout, All My Life, Aurora, Monkey Wrench, Everlong, and many more. Check out the full setlist and videos below.
Earlier this week, Foo Fighters revealed Freese as their new drummer during a free live stream on Veeps.
“Excuse me, guys — could we just, like, I dunno, play a song or two … something?,” Freese asked his bandmates during the livestream, and the band promptly ripped into All My Life. They also performed Monkey Wrench, The Sky Is A Neighbourhood, Aurora, No Son Of Mine, and briefly segued into the Huey Lewis number, Workin’ For A Living.
On Friday, 2 June, the US rockers will release But Here We Are.

They made the album announcement a month ago, just days after teasing new music. Upon announcing a new album, Foo Fighters unveiled the first single, Rescued.
Rescued is classic Foo Fighters - open, addictive power chords, resonant, shout-along vocals from Dave Grohl - it’s rock music to soothe the soul.
On New Year’s Eve, Foo Fighters paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins and announced they would continue as a band.
You can pre-order But Here We Are here.
