After delighting fans with a surprise set at Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage over the weekend under the alias The ChurnUps, the Foo Fighters have now announced a 2024 tour.
Named the Everything or Nothing at All tour, the band will play six major stadium dates throughout the UK in June 2024.
The tour will be in support of their 11th studio album But Here We Are, which was released at the beginning of June and which i’s reviewer gave four stars out of a possible five, calling it “an exercise in sitting with the pain of loss… the songs are big in roaring, thundering sorrow”.
Informed by the tragic early death of Taylor Hawkins, the band’s drummer and close friend, who passed away suddenly in March 2022, and the death of frontman Dave Grohl’s mother shortly afterwards, the album contains the usual raging guitars and frenzied roars, but it also contains some slower moments, such as the tender “Show Me How”, which features Grohl’s daughter, Violet, on vocals.
