Foo Fighters have started their current leg of ‘Sonic Highways’ world tour in Christchurch, New Zealand overnight with that set that included a classic rock cluster.

New Zealand fans were treated to Foo Fighters versions of songs by Kiss, The Faces, Queen + David Bowie as well as AC/DC’s anthem ‘Let There Be Rock’.

The Foo Fighters set included ‘Stay With Me’ (Faces), ‘Under Pressure’ (Bowie and Queen) and ‘Detroit Rock City’ (Kiss).
