Having admitted in 2012 that it would be a while before they returned to the UK, The Foo Fighters announce new September concert.
Playing alongside acts such as Kaiser Cheifs, Ellie Goulding and Ryan Adams – who has announced his UK tour dates here – the Foo Fighters will return for the closing concert of the Invictus Games at London’s Queen Elizabeth Park on September 14th this year.
The Invictus Games will run from the 10th to the 14th and comprise of around 300 competitors from 13 countries which have all fought alongside the UK in recent military campaigns in honour of sick, wounded or injured Servicemen and women. The games were created by Prince Harry and inspired by the ‘Warrior Games’ in the USA.
The Foo Fighters will close the event by playing their first gig in the UK since September 2012, a long wait for die-hard fans.
Dave Grohl has also seen success with his television show ‘Sonic Highways’ which follows the band around various music studios in the states as they record their new album, which as yet remains untitled, to capture the essence of American music history.
The Foo Fighters will release their new album in November this year, and tickets for the Invictus Games go on sale at 9am on Friday 1st August for £49. You can purchase tickets on the Invictus Games website here
