[Watch] Foo Fighters' Set from Radio One's Big Weekend
From headlining the largest festivals in the world, to the largest arenas, even their fans' garages across the US, Foo Fighters are dominating everything right now. With the release of their fantastic seventh studio album Wasting Light, Foo Fighters are back with a bang. This weekend they were Saturdays headliners on the main stage of Radio One's Big Weekend.
Playing a set consisting new tracks and a few oldies for good measure the band even came on for a completely unplanned encore, a rarity these days. In the encore Taylor Hawkins took up singing duties and the band performed a cover of Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down" which the band have played live a few times, even with Queen's very own Brian May!
Check out the full set right here on SKoA! Kicking off at the top we have "Bridge Burning" a great opening track to not only an album but a live performance, with the rest of the set being found after the jump. Happy watching.
