Fans are excited to return to Zilker Park for ACL 2023.
The band was joined by Shania Twain on"Best of You" as the two acts closed out the festival on Saturday night of Weekend 1., having headlined before in both 2008 and 2015, but their return to Zilker Park this year is the rock band’s first since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Dave Grohl and the band are known for their live shows full of loud, crowd-pleasing “are you ready to rock?” riffs. But behind the rock spectacle has always been a theme of powering through grief – first with the band’s formation after the death of Kurt Cobain and now after the death of Hawkins. No doubt that theme ran through the band’s two-hour set on the American Express Stage on Saturday night – a journey through their biggest hits, featuring snippets of other big rock songs, a dedication to band manager John Silva on his birthday, a tribute to Hawkins and a surprise appearance by Shania Twain.
“You guys want some raw f------ rock ‘n’ roll tonight?” Grohl said to cheers as the band opened with “All My Life.”'People are excited, people love music out here' | Zilker Park buzzing for the first official day of ACL 2023As they played on through “The Pretender” and “No Son of Mine,” the Foo Fighters sprinkled in bits of Van Halen, Metallica and Black Sabbath riffs and veered into some longer jams but always kept it tight and ready to come back to the big rock choruses.
The band’s biggest hits were spread throughout the set, starting with “Learn to Fly” early on. Grohl dedicated “My Hero” to Silva, his manager since his Nirvana days, for Silva's birthday on Saturday.Around 90 minutes into the set, the band played “Aurora,” a song they have played every show this tour in honor of Hawkins. It was Hawkins’ favorite song, Grohl said.
