Live entertainment company and promoter for their "Everything or Nothing at All Tour," AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, confirms the statement and said the show drew well over 50,000 people, making it the band's biggest crowd as a headline act in the U.S.

The Pretenders and Mammoth WVH opened for the band that Saturday night.

The Foo Fighters were founded and created by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl in 1993. Chris Shiflett, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and drummer Josh Freese make up the rest of the band. Freese recently signed on, following former drummer and singer Taylor Hawkins' death in 2022.
