On Saturday, February 2, 2019, the Foo Fighters headlined DIRECTV Super Saturday Night with special guests Run The Jewels. Capping off a legendary night, rock icons Roger Taylor (Queen), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Zac Brown, Tom Morello and Dave Koz took the stage for memorable collaborations and covers.
Over 9,000 fans, celebrities and industry VIPs attended the sold-out concert event at a custom-built 72,000 square foot venue at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, GA. The event was livestreamed on Twitter, AUDIENCE Network and DIRECTV NOW to over 4 million viewers and quickly became the #1 trending topic on Twitter.
The star-studded evening included some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment the night before the Big Game including Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, Vanessa Hudgens, Emily Ratajkowski, Sarah Hyland, Keegan-Michael Key, Nina Dobrev, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott and many more!
Run The Jewels set the tone by opening the night with a powerful set including performances of “Legend Has It,” “Blockbuster Night Pt. 1” and “Thursday in the Danger Room” among others.
Leading up to DIRECTV Super Saturday Night, Foo Fighters released a brand new short film written and directed by Foo Fighters’ own Dave Grohl, featuring Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan—and of course some more familiar faces—in a hilarious time warping homage that presents the familiar Foo Fighters comedic chops in a classic 1970s cinematic style and story.
Foo Fighters opened the show with classics “All My Life,” “Learn to Fly” and “The Pretender” and closed out the night with “Best of You” and “Everlong”.
Zac Brown and Tom Morello surprised the audience in the house and watching at home as they came on stage to perform alongside their friends Foo Fighters.
Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins brought out his idol, Queen’s Roger Taylor, to take over on drums as the group performed Queen’s classic hit “Under Pressure.”
Perry Farrell joined Foo Fighters, Brown and Morello on stage for a powerful rendition of Jane’s Addictions “Mountain Song.”
