Foo Fighters played a secret gig at London club Dingwalls in the northern suburb of Camden.
The venue fits 500 sweaty fans and was at capacity for the near three hour show the Foos played under the alias White Limo, while the night before, 12,000 more fans loaded into Wembley Arena to see the full sized show, but it was the club show that really ticked all the right boxes.
They played their upcoming album ‘Wasting Light’ in full before playing a complete second set of the band’s greatest hits. The full set list was:
