Foo Fighters launched the campaign for their highly-anticipated 10th album Medicine At Midnight over the weekend with two impressive performances on Saturday Night Live.

The rock titans joined the Dave Chappelle-hosted show on, well, Saturday night, to give their brand-new single Shame Shame its live debut. Dave Grohl and the gang also played classic hit Times Like These in a stripped-back style reminiscent of their recent performance for the I Will Vote benefit gig – which is appropriate, given that Joe Biden was announced as the projected winner of the presidential race on the same day as the SNL episode.

Speaking to Kerrang! at the start of 2020 about Medicine At Midnight, Dave Grohl revealed: “…I’m so fucking proud of it. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done.

“I’m fucking excited for people to hear it and I can’t wait to jump on that fucking stage to play it,” the frontman continued. “There are choruses on this record that 50-fucking-thousand people are gonna sing, and it’s gonna bring everyone’s fucking hearts together in that moment. And that’s what it’s all about.”
