Hey Foo Fighters fans! Last night was set to be an unforgettable evening as the legendary rock band kicked off their summer 2024 ‘Everything Or Nothing At All’ stadium tour at Citi Field in Queens, New York. The excitement was palpable, the energy electric—but Mother Nature had other plans.
As the band rocked out to their hit song “Everlong,” severe thunderstorms swept through the Tri-State area, bringing heavy rain, lightning, and flooding. Suddenly, the night took an unexpected turn.
"Everlong" Cut Short
Picture this: you're surrounded by thousands of fellow Foo Fighters fans, the music is blaring, and Dave Grohl is giving it his all on stage. Then, out of nowhere, the storm's intensity forces the band to stop mid-performance. At 10:33 PM EST, Citi Field’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted:
“Unfortunately due to the continued presence of lightning in the area, tonight’s show has concluded. Please exit the venue and have a safe night.”
Foo Fighters' Heartfelt Message to Fans
The Foo Fighters quickly addressed the situation on X, sharing their disappointment but emphasizing safety first:
“We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field. 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!”
