Foo Fighters

Back in 1998, when Foo Fighters took the stage at Glastonbury, they were riding high on the success of their self-titled debut album, which had dropped just a couple of years earlier in 1995. This album was a fresh explosion of grunge-infused rock, showcasing the raw energy and songwriting prowess of Dave Grohl and the band. It’s fascinating to think about how, in those early days, Grohl was not just a frontman, but also a former drummer from the iconic Nirvana—talk about a monumental legacy! By the time of that legendary Glastonbury performance, the band had released "The Colour and the Shape" earlier that year, which included hits like "My Hero" and "Everlong." Their set would have been a perfect blend of new tracks and fan favorites, creating an electric atmosphere that resonated with the audience. It was a pivotal moment for the Foo Fighters, marking them as a force to be reckoned with in the rock scene. Notably, this performance helped cement their reputation for powerhouse live shows, a characteristic that fans still adore today.
