Foo Fighters Live at Coachella Festival - Performance Overview

Venue: Empire Polo Club Location: Indio, California, United States Date: April 28, 2002

In 2002, when the Foo Fighters took the stage at Coachella, they were riding high on the wave of their fourth studio album, *One by One*, which had released just a few months earlier in October 2002. This live performance was pivotal, showcasing a band in the midst of evolution; they had transitioned from the grunge roots tied to leader Dave Grohl’s work with Nirvana to cultivating their distinctive sound that melded hard rock with melodic hooks. Interestingly enough, this concert captured the band’s energy and rapport, which helped solidify their reputation as a powerhouse live act. With an expansive festival audience, the performance at Coachella marked a significant moment in their career, leading them into a new era of massive popularity. It's wild to think how this one show became part of a greater narrative—the journey of a band that continues to resonate two decades later.
