The band, currently touring their UK chart-topping album “But Here We Are,” head to the London Stadium for two shows, supported by Wet Leg and Shame during their first show in the capital, with Courtney Barnett and Hot Milk set to provide support on their second tour date (June 22 2024.)

By all accounts, the shows have been - as you’d expect - an incredible sing-a-long with Dave Grohl as the band not only have been playing material from their new album but delving into their past catalogue of hits, including the now time-honoured tradition of finishing a set with “Everlong.” 

Amber Peake has put together a comprehensive list of timings ahead of this week’s first performance in London, but what is the weather forecast for this week’s gig and to avoid embarrassment, what items are prohibited to take into the London Stadium?
