Dave Grohl's first festival headline after the unthinkable — and he brought a new drummer.
Foo Fighters are set for a headline slot at Rock AM Ring and Rock IM Park 2023. The Learn To Fly rockers will top the bill at the German festivals on Friday 2nd June and Sunday 4th June respectively, in what are their only European dates so far.
Acting
Grohl's between-song ban — raw, funny, devastating.
Sound
Josh Freese's debut — technically precise, emotionally respectful.
Production
That German festival crowd energy — absolutely unhinged.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marked the Foo Fighters' return to European stages following Taylor Hawkins' death in March 2022, making it a cultural moment of collective mourning and resilience.
Josh Freese had only been officially announced as drummer weeks before — this was his festival baptism by fire, and he reportedly learned 40+ songs in under a month.
