Dave Grohl has been making headlines again with a mix of rock theatrics and behind-the-scenes shakeups in the past few days. On June 20, Grohl made a surprise appearance at the Roundhouse in London, joining indie legend Kim Deal on stage to perform the Pixies’ classic “Gigantic.” According to Consequence and Parade, Grohl delighted the crowd by joking to Deal, “I’ll sing whatever you ask me to sing. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do,” before launching into their rendition—a number the two have collaborated on several times over recent years. The buzz around his cameo only intensified fan speculation that he might pop up at Glastonbury, especially after Amanda Palmer posted a backstage selfie with Grohl at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Royal Albert Hall show last week. Although nothing has been confirmed regarding a Glastonbury set, fans are reading the tea leaves and betting on a surprise appearance, possibly during Alanis Morissette's tribute to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, given Grohl's ongoing connections with Morissette and the Foo Fighters' history.

Meanwhile, Grohl’s business calendar has remained relatively lean, but not without drama. As widely reported by sources like Kerrang and iHeart, Foo Fighters recently fired drummer Josh Freese, leaving the band’s long-term lineup in flux. The band has not yet announced a replacement, but Grohl and company are still slated to headline major festivals later this year, including the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City this November and a run across Asia in October, marking their first shows since the fallout from Grohl’s very public infidelity scandal in late 2024.

On social media, Grohl’s London appearance alongside Deal set off a fresh wave of nostalgia and respect from fans, while ongoing Reddit threads have speculated about possible onstage reunions and hinted at new Foo Fighters material or collaborations. Recent headlines have focused on the band’s tour prospects and the intrigue around their drummer search. Additionally, Grohl has kept a lower profile after confirming the birth of a child outside his marriage last year—a revelation which reportedly led to some canceled 2025 touring plans.

For now, Grohl’s narrative continues to blend surprise performances, lineup shifts, and high-profile festival headlining slots with personal stories that keep both the rock world and gossip columns watching closely for his next move.
