The fast and furious Foo Fighters are playful and poignant at Hersheypark Stadium
A celebratory set from these rock lifers landed in Central Pennsylvania this week.

It’s a propulsive, cathartic collection of songs cycling around loss, grief, and healing, and it ranks among the best releases in the Foo Fighters discography.
