Slane feels the grá for Grohl as Foos fight the rain
Slipping, he falls to the muddied ground, much to the amusement of his slightly more sober comrades. Undeterred, the half-clad stranger makes a mud-angel and continues to sing along with his favourite band. This is Slane after all, and Foo Fighters are on. Nothing can ruin such a perfect combination, not even a spot of torrential rain.
So the shower came down and the show went on, but the 60,000-strong crowd didn’t have to go it alone. Ever the gent, frontman Dave Grohl braved the withering weather right alongside us, walking away from the protection of the stage and out to the crowd on a specially made pontoon, getting up close and personal with his legion of fans.
