Foo Fighters to play show for O2 Arena’s tenth birthday
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 29 June 2017
The Foo Fighters have announced that they will play a one-off show at the O2 Arena in London on 19 Sep to mark the tenth birthday of the venue. It just so happens that their new album is out on 15 Sep too.
“We’re coming back to the O2 Arena on 19 Sep to play their tenth birthday”, said Dave Grohl in a video announcing the show, clearly not realising that I’d already told you all that. “We can’t wait to see everyone there. So take care and take a nap”.
“Try not to shit the bed”, added drummer Taylor Hawkins, referencing something I cut out of the band’s initial comments about the show when typing them up. Probably shouldn’t have put this bit in then. Doesn’t really make sense now, does it? Shame there’s nothing I can do about that at this point.
Anyway, you can watch that whole statement, bed-shitting and all, right here.
