Hyde Park, Wembley and the Taylor Hawkins tribute: the Foo Fighters' biggest London nights.
London has hosted several of the Foo Fighters' biggest concerts. On June 17, 2006, they played their largest non-festival headline show up to that time in Hyde Park, where Motörhead's Lemmy joined them for "Shake Your Blood" and Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen made a surprise appearance. On June 7, 2008, at Wembley Stadium, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin joined them for "Rock and Roll" and "Ramble On".

Background
Wembley Stadium was also the venue for the first of the two Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts, on September 3, 2022, where Josh Freese was among the guest drummers and Hawkins' son Shane played drums on "My Hero"; the show was streamed live on YouTube and Paramount+. London has a quieter place in the band's story too: in 2001 Grohl stayed by Hawkins' hospital bed there while he lay in a two-week coma after a heroin overdose, and Grohl was later flown to London for surgery after breaking his leg in a fall from the stage in Gothenburg, Sweden.
