FOO FIGHTERS‘ Dave Grohl surprised the Coachella crowd this weekend by making an unannounced appearance with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Dudamel, the Venezuelan music director of the LA orchestra since 2009 and future leader of the New York Philharmonic, conducted the orchestra while Grohl performed two FOO FIGHTERS favorites: “Everlong” from their 1997 album The Colour And The Shape, and “The Sky Is A Neighborhood” from 2017’s Concrete and Gold.
The performance of “Everlong” is available to watch below.
Since his admission of infidelity last fall, Grohl has largely remained out of the public eye, aside from some volunteer work. This changed in late January when he reunited with his former NIRVANA bandmates onstage for a benefit concert supporting those affected by the Californian wildfires.
In October, it was reported that FOO FIGHTERS are planning to go on an “indefinite hiatus.”
The band unexpectedly canceled their scheduled performance at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with only three days’ notice.
Hellfest founder Ben Barbaud also revealed that the band was originally slated to perform at the festival.
Discussing MUSE‘s headlining performance, Barbaud explained, “FOO FIGHTERS cancelled their summer tour. They were offered to me on a platter. A month ago, I was offered to program them with a handful of other European festivals.
“FOO FIGHTERS having cancelled their summer tour, MUSE was called in as reinforcements. I accepted because I was missing a headliner on Friday and because the Hellfest audience is more and more open. With age, I too have matured, I am less sectarian.”
