Foo Fighters got the plug pulled on them during their headline performance at BottleRock festival on Sunday night, but continued to finish their final song.

Dave Grohl and co headlined the third and final evening of the Napa Valley festival, following previous headline sets from Tom Petty and Maroon 5.

San Francisco Chronicle reports that promoters “promptly shut down the speakers and video screens” halfway through the Foos’ performance of set closer ‘Everlong’ as the band had surpassed a strict 10pm curfew. The report notes that the festival implements a strict curfew following previous residential complaints about sound levels.

Despite having the power cut, Foo Fighters continued for a couple more minutes to finish “Everlong” before bidding farewell to the crowd.
