Foo Fighters may have caught some heat from Taylor Swift fans this week, but there was no signs of stress when they took to the stage at Cardiff Principality Stadium.

After supporting sets from Maid of Honour and Nothing But Thieves, Dave Grohl and co played an almost three-hour performance of hits from across their career.

Kicking off their 25-track set with One by One anthem All My Life, the band treated the Welsh crowds to the likes of The Pretender, Times Like These, My Hero, Learn To Fly, Monkey Wrench and more.

As with their previous shows, the band dedicated Aurora to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who tragically died in 2022, and the sticksman's son Shane joined them on stage once again - this time to accompany them on their This Is a Call single.
