Foo Fighters covered a snippet of Beastie Boys‘ ‘Sabotage’ during their set at Bonnaroo.The show at this year’s event in Tennessee earlier this week marked the latest of many upcoming festival appearances the band are set to make this summer.Cuing bassist Nate Mendel to kick off the 1994 hit’s opening riff, frontman Dave Grohl said: “Fuck, let’s do it – go, Nate, go,” before he took on the first verse.After a few lines, Grohl stopped and said: “I can’t fucking rap and I don’t know the song, though I love it.” He then added: “Next year, we’ll come back to Bonnaroo, we’ll play at the fucking ‘Wha-What Stage’ and we’ll do a whole Beastie Boys set, how about that?” You can view footage below.Foo sabotage at Roo #bonnaroo #foofighters #beastieboys pic.twitter.com/8fp8tDGJlK— Velvet Jones (@velvetjonesing) June 19, 2023The snippet was part of a medley section that the band have been including on their tour which has previously seen them cover snippets of Devo’s ‘Whip It’ and Nine Inch Nails’ ‘March Of The Pigs’.During the same performance at Bonnaroo, the band were also joined onstage by Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams for ‘My Hero’.The singer – who has often cited the band as a source of inspiration for Paramore – had performed on that same stage just before Foo Fighters kicked off their show.Elsewhere in their set, Foo Fighters also broke out multiple songs from their latest studio effort, ‘But Here We Are’.Released earlier this month, the album marked the band’s 11th studio album, and their first new music since the sudden passing of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins last March.
