he Glastonbury Festival’s 2023 Pyramid Stage delivered a moment of rock and roll history when Guns N’ Roses invited Dave Grohl to join their headline set for a blistering, unrehearsed jam on their iconic single, “Paradise City.”

The surprise collaboration occurred on Saturday, June 24, 2023, during Guns N’ Roses’ highly anticipated headline slot. The appearance was heralded by frontman Axl Rose’s fitting quip: “There’s never such a thing as too many guitars.” The crowd erupted as the Foo Fighters frontman strode onto the stage, immediately slotting into the legendary lineup, trading vocals with bassist Duff McKagan and adding thunderous riffs alongside guitarist Slash.

The sheer star power of the moment translated into massive digital engagement. Video footage of the “Paradise City” jam quickly exploded online, racking up over 2 million views across platforms, with fans universally dubbing Grohl the ultimate “band crasher” for his magnetic spontaneity.

The collaboration with Guns N’ Roses was the crescendo of what was arguably the “Grohl-stonbury” festival. Grohl’s presence at Glastonbury 2023 was defined by multiple, high-profile surprise appearances that cemented his status as the festival’s Most Valuable Player:

This streak of spontaneous appearances followed his highly emotional 2022 Glastonbury cameo with Sir Paul McCartney, where they tore through Wings’ “Band On The Run.” That 2022 duet was the first major performance for Grohl after the sudden death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, with the clip reaching 2.3 million views, showcasing the quiet support between the two rock legends.

The unscripted collision of icons like Grohl, Rose, and Slash embodied the enduring magic of the Glastonbury Festival—a place where music acts as a powerful lifeline, connecting legendary musicians and ecstatic audiences in moments that become instant rock history.
