From Foo Fighters to Paul McCartney: The complete Taylor Hawkins tribute show setlist
Taking over Wembley Stadium in England on Saturday night, Foo Fighters performed for the very first time since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March, playing a six-hour long set which attracted some of the greatest musicians in the contemporary industry.
Recruiting some of Hawkins’ biggest idols for the concert, the Foo Fighters brought out the likes of Liam Gallagher, Travis Barker, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, as well as Brian Johnson of AC/DC fame. Among such acts, there were also some unexpected homecomings, with the concert seeing Them Crooked Vultures and James Gang come back together, as well as members of Taylor Hawkins’ family who joined Dave Grohl and the rest of the band on stage.
“A gigantic fucking night for a gigantic fucking person,” Grohl announced at the start of the show, making it clear from the offset that the concert would honour the legacy of Taylor Hawkins in more ways than one. Clocking in at almost six hours in total, with a setlist of 50 songs, Grohl’s spectacular show was a remarkable lasting legacy for Hawkins and the Foo Fighters in general.
