Dave Grohl and co played the first of two nights at Emirates Old Trafford and treated their fans to an epic career-spanning set.
Foo Fighters kicked off their UK tour with an epic 3-hour-long performance at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester last night (13th June).
Taking to the stage just after 9pm, Dave Grohl and co treated fans to a 24-track set, which included anthems from throughout their almost three decades together.
After kicking things off with Monkey Wrench, the US rockers treated fans to the likes of Learn To Fly, The Pretender, Times Like These, My Hero and Best of You, alongside tracks from their more recent works such as Rescued, Under You and The Sky Is a Neighborhood.
The band also gave their Unconditional track its world debut, marking their first official song with drummer Josh Freese as a member.
