Foo Fighters closed out the Sziget Festival in Hungary last night (August 13) with a headlining set that saw Dave Grohl invite a crowd surfing fan in a wheelchair on stage.

Before the band finished their set with "Everlong," Grohl addressed the crowd with some light banter, which is when he saw the fan in the wheelchair in the crowd.

"He's the f-cking star of the show right there. That’s the f-cking star of the show," said Grohl. "My man! My man! I have a question; do you wanna come up and watch the show from up here?" The crowd then erupted and then carefully helped the fan make his way to the stage.

Also joining the fan on stage was "Bubble Girl," a female fan who was blowing bubbles throughout the concert. So, if you're looking for a way to get Dave Grohl's attention during a show, bubbles might work.
