The artist did, however, drop by Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s “Midnight Preserves” benefit concert the night before to watch The Who’s Pete Townshend guest on several songs.
Beyond being dedicated to Hawkins and the Foos, yesterday’s Chili Peppers set also marked its first full show since 2019 with longtime guitarist John Frusciante back in the band., which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200. Foos vibes were also strong during an earlier Sunday set by New Orleans band Dumpstaphunk at Jazz Fest.
