Foo Fighters and Tom Morello shared a bill at Open’er Festival in Gdynia, Poland this weekend. With Morello watching from the side of the stage, Dave Grohl dedicated the band’s performance of “Times Like These” in honor of the former Rage Against the Machine guitarist. At one point, the Foo Fighters frontman also briefly made his way side stage so that Morello could get an up close and personal view of his tribute, before the two ultimately embraced.
“Wild time last night at @Open’er Festival in Poland rocking out hard with Dave Grohl & Foo Fighters,” Morello wrote of the moment captured by photographer Aysia Marotta.
Morello and his mother, Mary, were featured in an episode of From Cradle to Stage, the 2021 docu-series created by Grohl based on the book written by his late mother Virginia, From Cradle to Stage: Stories from the Mothers Who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars.
Foo Fighters are currently wrapping up the European leg of their 2024 summer tour. Later this month, they’ll return to the US for a run of stadium shows (get tickets here).
As for Morello, he recently unveiled “Soldier in the Army of Love,” the lead single from his upcoming solo rock album. He was also named the recipient of the 2024 Woody Guthrie Prize.
