Foo Fighters\u00a0returned to\u00a0Leeds Festival this evening to perform their seventh headline slot at the event.

\n

Dave Grohl\u00a0was joined by his daughter Violet\u00a0on stage in an emotional set which saw the Foo Fighters frontman reflecting on the band’s many appearances at the festival.

\n\n

Violet Grohl has become a regular guest on stage at the band\u2019s recent mini-European tour. News of her appearance at Leeds was confirmed by Dave in an interview with\u00a0Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2\u00a0earlier today (August 23).

Whilst Grohl confirmed Violet would appear at Leeds, he said she would miss Reading Festival because she\u2019s back at school on Monday.\u00a0Grohl said: \u201cMy daughter is singing with us every night. It\u2019s sad, but she\u2019s going to have miss Reading as she\u2019s got to go back to eighth grade. Her school starts on Monday.”

\n

The Foos hit-filled opened with ‘Pretender’. One of the moments fans most enjoyed sharing afterwards was when a paraglider appeared in the backdrop to the festival during ‘Learn To Fly’ and when Grohl and co brought a Freddie Mercury lookalike from the audience onto the stage for a rendition of ‘Under Pressure.’

\n

You can check out that moments and others with the footage, images and reaction from fans at the gig below.

    This year's Reading Festival gets under way in just over a week, with Arctic Monkeys and Megan Thee Stallion among the stars set to entertain music fans. The annual festival has the power to create lifelong memories for both first-timers and live music veterans.

    As the anticipation of attending the Richfield Avenue site builds, fans may start to feel nostalgic for festivals gone by. Back in 2012, The Cure, Kasabian and Foo Fighters were the headliners for a classic Reading line-up.

    On the main stage, Friday's offerings also included Bombay Bicycle Club and Paramore, Florence and The Machine and The Vaccines were among the acts who entertained fans on Saturday while Kaiser Chiefs and The Black Keys warmed up the crowds for Foo Fighters on Sunday. We dug up a number of feelgood photos from the archive, showcasing some of the spectacular music on offer as well as the official line-up poster from that year.

    Pair of music festivals
    \n

    \n\nThe Reading and Leeds Festivals are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds, England. The events both happen on the bank holiday weekend in August (on Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and share the same bill (occasionally with one or two exceptions). The festival's origins date to the Beaulieu Jazz Festival (1956\u20131961) which became the National Jazz Festival in 1961 (The National Jazz and Blues Festival in 1963) and settled in Reading in 1971. In 1999 a second leg was added at Leeds.\n

    The following is a list of acts that have played at the festival.\n

    Guns N' Roses played only in Leeds as they had a prior touring commitment in London on the day of the Reading event. In Reading they were replaced by Raging Speedhorn who appeared much lower on the bill. A weekend ticket cost \u00a390, a day ticket was \u00a339. Reel Big Fish pulled out of Leeds for undisclosed reasons. Antipop Consortium cancelled their Dance Stage appearance after they disbanded earlier that month. Feeder were invited by Melvin Benn to headline the main stage on the first day at Reading and the second day at Leeds. They later turned this down, as they did not want to play such a high-profile slot so soon after the death of their drummer Jon Lee in January of that year. As a result, Feeder would instead headline the Radio 1 Evening Session Stage.\n

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club played as a replacement for The White Stripes, who pulled out after Jack White was in a car crash with his then-girlfriend, Ren\u00e9e Zellweger. Although they played second on the Main Stage, it was billed as with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, reflecting their smaller status. Jay-Z also pulled out, with The Darkness moving further up the bill to replace him. The Libertines were without Pete Doherty, who was at that time estranged from the band; he also missed their 2004 appearance. Other drop outs included Courtney Love, Lostprophets and Godsmack. A weekend ticket cost \u00a395, a day ticket \u00a340.\n

    Shortly after the first line-up announcement, Feeder and Yeah Yeah Yeahs switched days, meaning that Yeah Yeah Yeahs would play Reading on Friday and Leeds on Saturday, and that Feeder would play Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday. Audioslave pulled out of their slot due to the band being busy recording new material, The Shins pulled out for undisclosed reasons, and From First to Last pulled out due to the then lead singer (Sonny Moore) needing throat surgery, Paramore had to pull out because their singer (Hayley Williams) had throat problems and were replaced by Sonic Boom Six lower in the bill. Story of the Year and Bleeding Through also pulled out for undisclosed reasons. Flogging Molly played twice at both festivals, once in the punk tent and once on the main stage. Tickets were \u00a3135 for a weekend ticket and \u00a360 for a day ticket.\n

    Tyler, the Creator had originally been booked to play on the NME Stage, but was forced to cancel these shows after being refused entry into the United Kingdom. Modern Baseball had planned to play the Lock Up Stage, but withdrew the week before the festival due to the lead singer's decision to focus on tackling his depression. Mastodon had originally been booked to headline the Pit stage, but pulled out when they cancelled their European tour, citing a 'personal family matter.[23]' It was later revealed that this was due to bassist Troy Sanders' wife being diagnosed with breast cancer.[24]\n

    The band PWR BTTM were lined-up to perform on The Lock Up stage, but after allegations went viral that band member Ben Hopkins had initiated sexual abuse, the festival pulled them from the line up. Several artists dropped out of Reading & Leeds for currently unknown reasons, this included Bishop Briggs, Katy B, A2 and K.I.D. On the first day of the festival, Royal Republic, who were the opening act on the main stage for Friday at Leeds, cancelled due to personal reasons, they were replaced by the Xcerts. Don Broco performed on The Lock Up stage under the name 'The Prettyboys' as a secret set. Queens of the Stone Age and Wolf Alice also had secret sets at the festival.\n

    Notes[edit]

    English indie rock band Blaenavon was to be a headlining act on the Festival Republic Stage, but on 20 June pulled out due to 'on-going health issues'. Crystal Fighters was announced as their replacement. G Flip, who was also due to perform on the Festival Republic Stage, also pulled out of the festivals for unknown reasons. UK drill rapper Loski has also been removed from the line-up. This may be because the rapper was arrested for being in possession with a firearm. Fellow UK drill rapper Unknown T was also removed after he was charged with murder and violent disorder after allegedly stabbing 20-year-old Steven Narvaez-Jara during a party. Geko was also supposed to perform on Radio 1Xtra Stage. It is unknown why he was removed. Brunswick who was also due to play on the Radio 1 Stage last year, was pulled from the line up again this year for unknown reasons. Two days before his performance at Leeds, Lil Uzi Vert pulled out of the festival for 'unforeseen circumstances'. Acts were pushed up, Yungblud and Mayday Parade swapped places, and SWMRS was upgraded from Festival Republic to the Main Stage. Comethazine and Masicka were replaced by DJ Grevious and M Huncho. King Princess was due to perform on the NME Stage, but had to pull out due to illness. Aitch was moved from the Radio 1Xtra tent, and took their slot. Drenge performed a secret slot on the BBC Introducing stage, Enter Shikari performed a secret acoustic slot on the same stage. This was the band's third set through the festival.\n

    Juice Wrld was scheduled to perform at Reading on the Friday of the festival but a minute before his scheduled appearance, the crew announced that he had been cancelled due to \"flight issues\".\n
