Foo Fighters plan anniversary concert on otherwise meaningless Fourth of July
The Foo Fighters have spent most of 2014 paying tribute to the American music scene through its HBO show Sonic Highways—a project resulting in an album of the same name to be released next week. Now, after looking to our ancestors for inspiration, the band will form a more perfect union on a day that previously lacks any larger meaning: July 4. This day which, until now, had nothing special about it will see Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foos take Washington D.C.’s RFK Stadium to celebrate its achievements over the past 20 years. And to ensure this day will be one people talk about for years—nay, centuries—the band is bringing along a few friends to really make the whole thing pop.
