You. Yes, you.
Bill RaymondThe Foo Fighters returned to Pennsylvania this week to rock the sweetest place on earth: Hersheypark.
Fans travelled from across the Greater Philadelphia area to savor the moment, a long time coming after the band cancelled their last scheduled appearance in PA following the unexpected passing of Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Since then, MMR has covered the Foo Fighters' epic tribute concert for Taylor in Los Angeles, and we've had the new album But Here We Are on repeat.

The band have spent much of their time touring the UK in the past year, and we were thrilled to welcome them back for the stateside run of their Everything or Nothing At All tour. The Hives and Amyl and the Sniffers are supporting this leg of the tour, and primed the Hershey crowd for Grohl & co.'s explosive energy.
The sun hadn't even set when the Foo Fighters stepped on stage, illuminating the joy of the fans and the triumphant smiles of the band: Dave Grohl as the rock circus ringleader, Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett both on guitar, Nate Mendel on bass, Rami Jaffi on the keys and Josh Freese behind the drum kit in Taylor Hawkins' stead.

The setlist in Hershey was stacked with hits, with many of them turning into winding, frenzied jams that the Foos live experience is known for. Check out photos below courtesy of Bill Raymond at Digital Noise Mag, plus the setlist from that epic night.
