VIDEO: Foo Fighters play on after the power gets cut-off at Bottlerock

The beloved Foo Fighters were closing out the Bottlerock Festival in the  wine country of the West, Napa Valley, California on Sunday but their last song was abruptly cut off by festival organizers due to a tight curfew. According to several reports including Billboard, the fest which takes place near a residential area has a strict curfew of 10pm and the band played past the curfew. This did not stop Dave Grohl and company from playing the finale ‘Everlong’ when the sound system and big screens were cut off, the crowd backed up the band on every note as they continued to play despite not being really audible to the massive crowd. It was a really special moment that reminds me how connected people can be by music, they just kept clapping and singing the words. The Foos and their fans played on to the finish the song, and that’s not something you can say about every musical group.

The cutoff moment comes at 5:28 into this fan-shot video by Steve Zanco and feels really magical.

Napa Valley got even more Foo with a pop-up show at an intimate venue, read about that here. Nothing will beat their HBO live show from Cubby Bear back in 2014., while promoting ‘Sonic Highways’.

Foo Fighters are set to release new music in the near future, as they work on an album between festival dates. They will be headlining the Glatonsbury this summer. They promoted that big date with a pop-up show in England in February, where they debuted two new songs “Keep Your Pretty Promise to Yourself” and “Run With Me.” Last month, Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins performed at a charity event where they played a new song called “The Sky is a Neighborhood”, watch video of that here.
