As part of BBC Radio 1’s Out Out! Live 2021 event over the weekend, Sigrid, Sam Fender, AJ Tracey, Griff and more united onstage to cover Foo Fighters' "Times Like These".

On Saturday (16 October) at Wembley's SSE Arena, BBC Radio 1 hosted its Out Out! Live 2021 event, and many of the acts on the line-up united onstage to perform a cover of Foo Fighters' "Times Like These".

Sigrid, Sam Fender, AJ Tracey, Biffy Clyro, Griff, Dermot Kennedy, Mimi Webb and Bastille's Dan Smith took part in the live cover.

Last year the likes of Dua Lipa, Chris Martin, Anne-Marie, Rita Ora, Celeste and more recorded a cover of the same song for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge charity single, which saw all proceeds donated to Children in Need and Comic Relief. AJ Tracey, Sigrid, Dermot Kennedy, Biffy Clyro, Sam Fender and Bastille were also featured on the 2020 cover.

Dave Grohl said that when he heard about the idea for last year's BBCR1 Live Lounge charity single, he "literally had to fight back tears".
