Dave Grohl and co played their first night at London Stadium with special appearances from Violet Grohl and the late Taylor Hawkins' son Shane.

Foo Fighters played the first of their duo of dates at London Stadium on Thursday (20th June) and made it one to remember.

Early support slots from from Shame and Wet Leg helped to bring the vibes as the capital experienced some of the highest temperatures of the summer so far.

By the time Dave Grohl and co. took to the stage to open with All My Life, the fans at London Stadium were hungry to rock out to the Foos' three-hour, 27-track, career-spanning set.
