On Sunday night, Foo Fighters were in Jacksonville, Florida, rounding out the Welcome To Rockville festival with a headlining performance. The band, led by Dave Grohl, is no stranger to inviting out surprise special guests during their performances, ranging from, most recently, the viral sensation, “Kiss Guy”, to Rick Astley to Dave Grohl’s young daughter, who sat in on drums during a show in Iceland.
During the band’s headlining Welcome To Rockville show, Foo Fighters had two very special guests line up for surprise appearances—John Travolta and Billy Idol. Travolta was watching Foo Fighters’ set from the side stage when Foo Fighters moved into a cover of the Grease classic “You’re The One That I Want”, a tune made famous by Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. After the out-of-left-field cover, Travolta emerged briefly to give Grohl a hug.
Later on, Billy Idol also made an appearance—this time for a more extensive cameo. Idol and Foo Fighters laid out a rendition of John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth” before Idol departed from the stage to let the Foo Fighters wrap up the show. You can watch a number of videos from the star-studded performance below.
