The 20,000 plus audience starts filling in on this perfect summer Tuesday night as Melbourne pub rock band Amyl & The Sniffers open the night of rock.
Next up is American rock band, Weezer.
The ‘Buddy Holly’ hit makers are an obvious fan favourite with plenty of sing-a-longs throughout the bands set.
Finally, the main act, FOO FIGHTERS!
It hits 8pm as they take the stage, with the sun still up, the band open with the lead single from Concrete & Gold, Run and the crowd goes nuts.
The show is a non-stop rock fest, with major hits The Pretender, Best of You and Times Like These obvious crowd favourites.
Big ups for the covers of Under Pressure and the heart wrenching Black Bird, with the band coming out for a massive 5 song encore.
Tears were shed as we farewelled the mighty Foo after a huge 3 hours, as they left us with the hit Everlong.
It was obvious the band had just as much fun as the crowd, claiming Adelaide is ‘the heavy metal capital of Australia’.
