The wait is over – Foo Fighters will finally be able to fulfill their ambition of headlining Glastonbury this coming June.
After an 11th hour injury to frontman Dave Grohl forced them to cancel the 2015 headline booking, Foo Fighters have now been confirmed as the second main Pyramid Stage act for this year, joining Radiohead.
The band’s absence two years ago resulted in Florence & The Machine stepping up to headline. Florence Welch paid tribute to her stricken replacees by covering their 2003 single Times Like These – a gesture which Grohl had great affection for. “The day after the gig, someone sent me a link to the performance and I cried like a baby,” he said in the aftermath.
