A group of schoolchildren performed live on stage for Foo Fighters ahead of the band’s Merseyside show – with footage being shared to millions on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Thousands of fans gathered at Liverpool’s Anfield stadium last week as the American band kicked off their Europe tour with two nights in the city. <\/p>\n

But ahead of their first show on Thursday the rockers were treated to a performance of their own – when The Bell Tower Beats, a band from Anfield Road Primary School, took to the stage to perform the band’s hit single, Times Like These.<\/p>\n

“It was so fun performing for the Foo Fighters. I’ve never performed in front of anyone before,” young band member Sean told BBC North West Tonight<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Foo Fighters have since shared the special moment to their 5.8 million Instagram followers.<\/p>\n

The Bell Tower Beats members said they practiced “loads” ahead of their stadium debut, and were delighted to play alongside such a household name.<\/p>\n

“I really like how energetic they are and how much they have have when they are on stage performing,” Alyssa said of the Foo Fighters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A group of schoolchildren performed live on stage for Foo Fighters ahead of the band’s Merseyside show –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665663,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-665662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
