Led Zeppelin Join The Foo Fighters On Stage In London

For a historic encore...

After a week of rumours members of Led Zeppelin last night joined Foo Fighters on stage to perform two songs at the second night of their Wembley Stadium takeover.

After a number of hints from Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page took to the stage for renditions of ’Ramble On’ and ‘Rock ’n’ Roll’.

Robert Plant was unable to join the impromptu reunion as he is in America touring.

Early on in the Foo’s set Grohl told the crowd: "We're gonna do something we’ve never done at a Foo Fighters show and it's gonna blow your shit out the door!

Tonight this is gonna be the show that we’re gonna be talking about for the next 20 years!"

After a sixteen song main set, Jones and Page joined the band on stage for the sure to be legendary encore.

During ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’, Grohl took over the drums and Taylor Hawkins switched to being the bands lead singer.

As the Led Zeppelin pair left the stage and the band launched into a firework backed version of ‘Best Of You’, Grohl shouted, "welcome to the greatest fucking day of my life!"

The set list was:

The Pretender
Times Like These
No Way Back
Cheer Up Boys Your Make Up Is Running
Learn To Fly
This Is A Call
Long Road To Ruin
Breakout
Stacked Actors
Skin And Bones
Big Me
Marigold
My Hero
Cold Day In The Sun
Let It Die
Everlong
Monkey Wrench
All My Life

Rock And Roll
Ramble On
Best Of You

  • I was there and it was fuckin insane i loved every minute of it!! We travelled 8 hours to get there but it was worth every minute. This was my 6th time seeing these legends but this was by far the best rock show I have ever been to.

    • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
