Foo Fighters have left a message for Liverpool after back to back shows in Anfield stadium. The American rock band delivered all of their biggest hits in two three-hour long shows on June 25 and 27.
Dealt with enduring record breaking UK temperature levels and welcoming fan encounters on stage, the band's time in Liverpool was unforgettable.
Guitarist Chris Shiflett spoke openly about his interest in becoming a tourist while frontman Dave Grohl said: "Liverpool is f***ing awesome".
Now that the dust has settled, the band took to Instagram to share one last message about the city. Accompanied with a video compilation of both Anfield gigs, Foo Fighters said: "Another epic night in Liverpool!!!"
The run of shows was the first time the band have performed at the home of Liverpool FC. However, Dave Grohl has previously joined Sir Paul McCartney on stage at Anfield Stadium in 2008, during the celebration of Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture. They performed versions of Band On The Run and Back In The USSR.

The band was formed by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl after Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994. Initially conceived as a solo recording project, Foo Fighters soon became a full band when Dave brought in additional musicians ahead of their first live performances in 1995.
The gigs saw thousands of fans embrace some of the hottest days on UK records and one of the world's biggest star's display his heart on his sleeve for the city.
Bowing out of the final show, it doesn't appear to be long before the band returns to Liverpool. Swept away by the love they felt during their numerous days in the city, Dave said: "I'm going to be real with you.

"I wish every day was exactly like this. You guys are so f***ing awesome. Thank you so much. But I kind of have a feeling that it's just this place and these people. I don't think anywhere else is like this.
"I think it means we might need to come back. I've got a plan."
