Foo Fighters brought a fan onstage during their first ever concert at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium on June 25, 2026, after frontman Dave Grohl spotted a sign in the crowd. The sign read: 'If I solve this Rubix Cube, can I play a song?'
Dave Grohl's Reaction
Grohl paused the show to address the fan, saying: 'This m**********, he's got a sign. Is that a Rubix Cube? You've got a Rubix Cube.' He then invited the man onstage, adding: 'You think you can solve this Rubix Cube in front of a stadium full of people? Maybe? Alright, get your a** up here. I want to see this. A f****** Rubix Cube in a stadium full of people. We haven't had something like this in a long time.'
Fan's Identity and Performance
The audience member, later revealed to be the partner of Grohl's daughter Violet, climbed onstage to huge cheers. Grohl scrambled the puzzle and handed it back. The fan solved the Rubik's Cube in less than 80 seconds, prompting Grohl to exclaim: 'Oh, s***. Get on the f****** drums!' The fan then took a seat behind the drum kit and performed the song 'Rope' alongside the band, delighting the crowd.
Anfield Debut and Previous Appearance
This marked Foo Fighters' first headlining show at Anfield Stadium. However, Grohl had previously performed there in 2008 when he joined Sir Paul McCartney onstage during Liverpool's European Capital of Culture celebrations, playing 'Band On The Run' and 'Back In The USSR'.
Band Background
Foo Fighters were formed by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl after Kurt Cobain's death in 1994. What began as a solo recording project evolved into a full band in 1995, and over three decades they have become one of the world's most successful rock acts, with hits including 'My Hero', 'All My Life', and 'Best of You'. The band's set at Anfield included classics such as 'All My Life', 'Times Like These', and 'Rope'.
