I'd say they'll definitely play Black Hole Sun or something by Audioslave as a tribute to Chris Cornell. Dave must have known him.

Grohl went to Cornell's funeral, and directed a video from Soundgarden's last album (By Crooked Steps). I'll be surprised if there isn't some sort of tribute, and he does like a cover version.

Would be nice if he did something other than Black Hole Sun - always found that song incredibly overrated in the grand scheme of Soundgarden/Cornell - but that's probably what we'll get. Be a nice moment anyway, and depending on what state I'm in, tears may well be shed.

play Hunger Strike!

It's the right mood but I think they might well do something different, just because Black Hole Sun is a difficult song to sing. Maybe Fell on Black Days, or Cochise (which Nothing But Thieves have been doing a cover of).

Whereas at first I was mostly just going to see them for a nostalgia trip/because there wasn't much to pull me away, the closer it's getting and with the release of that surprisingly good/not shit song I'm actually pretty stoked for this now so thought I'd give a realistic setlist a go. Some wishful thinking but mostly realistic considering they'll almost definitely be doing a straight up greatest hits set there isn't that much wiggle room:

1. Run
2. Learn to Fly
3. White Limo
4. Times Like These
5. Big Me
6. The Pretender
7. My Hero
8. Arlandria
9. Something From Nothing
10. This is a Call
11. Breakout
12. Rope
13. Walk
14. For All the Cows
15. Stacked Actors
16. Best of You

17. All My Life
18. Aurora
19. Monkey Wrench
20. Everlong

You can pretty much guarantee they'll play Cold Day in the Sun and something shit from Sonic Highways instead of Aurora and Stacked Actors but ah well.

What a setlist. I hate Cold Day in the Sun.

[MikeEssex85]

Nice Setlist above there FloorFiller. 

Seen the Foo's 3 times including their best ever gig at the MK Bowl (in my opinion)

Songs that I really like and they are certain to play:

Everlong, Learn to Fly, My Hero, Monkey Wrench, Run (great new single!), Walk

 

Songs that I am not that fussed about yet most likely they will play:

Anything from Sonic Highways - likely Congregation, Cold Day in the Sun, Best of You

 

Songs I wish they would play, yet no chance in hell they will  unfortunately:

Come Back, Disenchanted Lullaby, Exhausted, End Over End, Stacked Actors, M.I.A, Wind Up

 

Still looking forward to seeing them, they always deliver as a live act!!

Yeah... No chance.

 

Foo Fighters love to ruin their setlists. They haven't played Headwires since the TiNLtL tour, and they've never played Live-In Skin.  They're even getting to the point where Aurora and Hey Johnny Park are regularly knocked off the setlists. Lunacy!!

 

They put the terrible version of Walking After You onto Colour & the Shape and put the great version on the X Files soundtrack.  A320 and Win or Lose never even make it onto an album! I'm Alone Again and Damn You Damn Everyone didn't even get properly recorded even even!

 

 ...but Cold Day in the Bloody Sun every damn time.

 

 

I really don't understand their decision making process.

This'll do for me!

I'd hope they play Outside from Sonic Highways as it works awesome live. DoA as well...

Only they'll know!

[BreadMakesYouFat?]

I can't understand why they have NEVER played 'I Am The River' from Sonic Highways live. That blaring out over the Pyramid Stage would a wonderful finale. But no... we get Cold Day In The Sun.

[st dan]

I've always assumed that they play 'Cold Day In The Sun' every damn time to give Dave and his voice a 5/10 minute respite mid set - as he then likes to use it as an opportunity to introduce Pat, Chris, Nate and then Taylor to the crowd.  

There is no other suitable explanation, because it really is a very weak song which could easily be replaced by just about every other song from their back catalogue.

Just about to get going in Iceland. Tonight will obviously be a good indictor as to what to expect in eight days time.

[RichieSpenno]

Anyone think they might try and come on early?  They have a whole hour after The National finish and they did it before I think at T in the Park a few years ago.

Nah it's kinda poor form to come on early at a festival init? Play past time by all means cos fans are already there but starting early means people could miss out. All the headliners have an hour setup time anyway.

Yeah I suppose so.  More than happy for them to finish later!

That'll probably happen. Dave seems to take pride in how long the sets go on for so I can imagine he'll be happy to flaunt the curfew and will spend a chunk of the overtime explaining how they're having so much fun that they're gonna keep going.

[Bradders]

I'm expecting at least 2 songs worth of "we've got so many song we wanna play for you tonight" while strumming an open guitar and running around a bit.
