Foo Fighters played their first proper gig in over a year last night (June 15) – watch footage, see reaction and check out the band’s setlist below.
The band’s show at the 600-capacity Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California was attended by fully vaccinated fans and served as a precursor to the Foos’ upcoming headline show at Madison Square Garden in New York this weekend.
At the show Dave Grohl and co. played a 23-song setlist, beginning with ‘Times Like These’ and closing with ‘Everlong’. In between, they gave a live debut to the title track from their latest album ‘Medicine At Midnight’ and covered Queen‘s ‘Somebody To Love’.

Outside the show, a handful of protesters gathered to show their anger at the gig’s door policy of all ticketholders needing to be fully vaccinated.
It came after anti-vaccine fans of the band recently renounced Foo Fighters over the entry policy to their Madison Square Garden gig. “Foo Fighters, a band I’ve long admired, just held a concert for the jabbed only,” tweeted one fan. “That’s every album & playlist with them on, consigned to the bin.”

Foo Fighters are set to follow up their two shows this week with a short tour around the US later this year.
The Foos had been set to head on a tour that would see them revisit stops from their first US tour, which was held in 1995, but those dates were shelved last August.
The band also recently confirmed a headline set at this year’s Lollapalooza Chicago, as well as at 2022’s Boston Calling festival.
