Foo Fighters kicked off stadium tour at Citi Field (night 1 pics w/ The Pretenders, video, setlists)

Foo Fighters kicked off their “Everything Or Nothing At All” US stadium tour in Citi Field last week, on Wednesday (7/17) and Friday (7/19), with support from The Pretenders and Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth WVH on night one, and The Hives and Amyl and the Sniffers on night two. Wednesday night’s show got cut short by a storm, with Dave Grohl pointing out “lightning and shit like that” in the area ahead of “Learn to Fly,” and then starting “Everlong” before ultimately being forced to pause, then cancel the remainder of the show. “We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field,” a statement from the band reads. “But the safety of our fans, the crew and everyone working in the stadium comes first, so when it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night. We’re grateful for every second we were able to play for you and looking forward to seeing you again — maybe as soon as Friday!” The weather held out for Friday and Foos were able to deliver their full three-hour set, which included favorites from throughout their discography, Grohl’s daughter Violet joining on “Shame Shame,” There is Nothing Left to Lose track “Aurora” dedicated to the late Taylor Hawkins, and more. See both night’s setlists, along with pictures of Foos and The Pretenders from night one by Mathieu Bredeau, and attendee-taken video, below. Amyl and the Sniffers also headlined a Jersey City show while they were in town. The Hives, meanwhile, will be back in NYC on their fall tour, which includes a Brooklyn show at Kings Theatre on September 24.
