“Foo Fighters love a challenge\u2014from playing the biggest stages in the world to the tiniest clubs to making movies and miniseries\u2026 We\u2019ve pretty much done it all,\u201d says Foo Fighters founder and frontman Dave Grohl. \u201cBut we\u2019ve never collaborated with Mark Romanek on a conceptual set of songs (including one being played live for the first time ever) for a worldwide audience, where everyone has the best seats in the house thanks to the most badass VR tech\u2026 until now. Join us when we cross that one off the FF bucket list,” said Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.<\/p>\n

The concert, which will feature a football theme, will take place on February 13th, at 8PM or immediately following the conclusion of the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
