In June 2018, at the peak of the Concrete and Gold Tour, Foo Fighters—the California rock band whose self-titled album (2017) with orchestral touches and guest vocals reclaimed stadium scale after garage Wasting Light—headlined Rock am Ring, one of Europe's largest festivals at the Nürburgring circuit, capping a day with Gorillaz and Muse. Their 2-hour set, with Pat Smear's guitar riffs and Taylor Hawkins' drum power, featured covers of "Under Pressure" with a guest and John Lennon's "Imagine", embodying tour climax and emotional peak before the band's hiatus. As their last major Europe show before Hawkins' passing, it underscored their veteran status, turning the circuit into a collective triumph arena.
