Foo Fighters pulls out of Soundside Music Festival after Dave Grohl cheating scandal

BBG News

As a seasoned music enthusiast with a penchant for uncovering the hidden tales behind the scenes, I find myself intrigued by the recent turn of events involving Foo Fighters at Soundside Music Festival. The rock scene has always been a rollercoaster ride, but this latest twist feels like a plot straight out of a rock ‘n’ roll soap opera.

The Foo Fighters have decided to cancel their main performance at the Soundside Music Festival, which is scheduled to take place in Connecticut this coming weekend.

On Sunday, the Grammy-winning rock band had planned to perform at Seaside Park, but they announced on Instagram on Thursday that they would no longer be playing at the Bridgeport event without providing further details about their decision.

On Thursday, reps for Foo Fighters declined to offer further explanation to The Times. Similarly, the Soundside Music Festival failed to respond promptly when The Times sought a comment regarding their repost of the Foo Fighters’ notice.

Jack White and Greta Van Fleet have been swapped in as joint headliners, taking over the role previously held by Foo Fighters, according to Soundside’s recent announcement. This unexpected change occurred a month after Soundside included Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers on the lineup, following Queens of the Stone Age’s withdrawal due to health issues affecting their lead singer Josh Homme.

Significantly, Foo Fighters cancelled their Soundside performance mere weeks following a stir caused by frontman Dave Grohl’s personal life revelations. On September 10th via an Instagram post, Grohl openly discussed infidelity, acknowledging the birth of a daughter, Jordyn Blum’s child, who was not his wife. He stated that the baby was born “outside of my marriage.

He expressed his intention to be a caring and nurturing parent towards her,” he stated. “I deeply cherish my spouse and our kids, and I’m making every effort to rebuild the trust and secure their pardon.

News about Grohl announcing the birth of his daughter spread rapidly online, leading to discussions and articles speculating about the identity of the child’s mother and the status of his marriage with Blum, whom he wed in 2003. The couple has three children together. However, his earlier marriage to Jennifer Youngblood ended in 1997 after just three years due to Grohl’s unfaithfulness.

The band’s performance at the festival was planned as the finale for their Everything or Nothing At All Tour, marking their first tour without drummer Taylor Hawkins who passed away in 2022. Recently, Foo Fighters played four shows in California, including two performances at L.A.’s BMO Stadium.

The group’s tour concluded Aug. 18 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

It remains undecided if Grohl’s recent controversy influences the Soundside decision, but it’s noteworthy that neither Grohl nor Foo Fighters have updated their social media accounts since the baby announcement, except for the post about Soundside cancellation. Earlier this month, Grohl kindly requested everyone to respect his personal matters.

He expressed his appreciation for your thoughtfulness towards every child, as we advance our journey side by side,” was a possible paraphrase of the original sentence.
