Dave Grohl wasn’t happy with a fan during Foo Fighters’ set at the Sonic Temple festival on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio. A fan who Grohl called a ‘weight lifter’ appeared to be giving a ‘wrap it up’ motion in the front row, leading to a rant from Grohl.
“Let’s have Taylor Hawkins come down and play a song. Oh I’m sorry, am I taking too long for you? There’s a guy in the front row [doing a wrap it up motion]. Is it too much? Would you rather I [does mocking metal growl]?
Is that what you want? Play to a bunch of backing tracks? F**king do [does metal growl again]? No. I’m going to have Taylor Hawkins come down and play a Queen song. Come on down. This one is for the weight lifter right there [does metal grown again].”
Due to weather, some acts at Sonic Temple had their performances canceled on Sunday.
Sonic Temple issued an apology stating, “At the end of the day, there are two things that we can’t control and that really put an outdoor festival at risk – lightning and the wind. We were experiencing high intermittent wind that caused concern. For safety reasons, first we shut down the Wave stage. Then we cleared the floor of the main stage for safety.”
They added, “We are so grateful for how quickly and safely you exited the festival grounds and how patiently you were until we could re-open the doors. It was incredibly rewarding for me to see you all safely come back. We could feel your energy and excitement building as we got ready for the Foo Fighters to take the stage. And wow did they give us an absolutely epic performance.”
