In August 2016, Eagles of Death Metal performed at the Leeds Festival, shortly after the release of their album "Zipper Down," which came out in October 2015. This period was particularly significant for the band as it followed a tragic incident during their concert in Paris in November 2015, where their resilience and commitment to their music were put to the test. The Leeds Festival performance showcased their spirit, featuring their signature blend of rock and humor. Notably, their set included a cover of David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream," highlighting their respect for rock legends and their ability to pay homage while engaging with the crowd. The band's upbeat and energetic presence at this festival marked a key moment in their recovery and reaffirmation as artists in the wake of adversity.
