Shane participated in the performance of the song “I'll stick around”, leading the public to a general commotion. In addition to being very talented on the drums, Taylor's son reminds him a lot of his father, both physically and in terms of energy on stage. This is the second time that Shake Hawkins has joined the group, the first being in 2022. In tribute to his father, the song played on the occasion was “My Hero” (Meu Hero, in Portuguese), one of Foo Fighters’ biggest hits. Out of curiosity, “I'll stick around” was not originally recorded by Taylor, but rather by Dave Grohl, who plays all the instruments on the song.

Today, May 30th, the band released the track “The Teacher”, which is 10 minutes long.
