Grohl was spotted riding the commuter train on Friday, June 23 as it headed south towards rural Somerset in the southwest of England where the festival takes place every summer.
“You never know who is going to churn up on board our trains!”
Later that day the Foo Fighters played an hour-long set beginning with “All My Life” and hits including “Pretender” and “Learn to Fly.”
Grohl’s eldest daughter Violet Maye alsojoined the band on stage for a duetto their new song “Show Me How” from the albumBut Here We Are.
Dressed in a white, casual shirt, with gum in her mouth, the 17-year-old sang beside her rockstar dad, who wrote the song for his mother.
“My favorite singer in the world,” Grohl introduced Violet to the crowd. Later he yelled “That’s my girl!” as the father-daughter duo finished the song.
“I love it when you’re on stage with your daughter and you hit a bad note," he also joked.
Grohl and Violet previously performed the song during a set in Pelham, Alabama, on June 16.

“Every night, when I see you singing, it makes me sing harder. When I see you screaming, it makes me scream louder. When I see your tears, it brings me to tears,” continued the former Nirvana member.
“And when I see your joy, it brings me joy. But, I see you… and it feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together,” added Grohl. “Because we’ve always done this together. Time and time again. See you soon.”
