Foo Fighters hint at three UK club shows this week

After hinting on Friday night they may play more than one UK show while in the country this week, Foo Fighters have been teasing more plans via their Twitter account.

Overnight the band posted the message “Sure missed you… now, let’s do 3 club gigs this week…” alongside an image of a UK plug socket.

The Foos are in the country to play the Invictus Games closing ceremony on Sunday (14th September). Other bands on the bill for the event include Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, Ryan Adams, The Vamps, Rizzle Kicks, Diversity, James Blunt and the Military Wives Choirs.

With a crowd-funded US date planned on September 17th, that suggests any other UK dates would have to come this week.

On Friday (5th September) Foo Fighters started rumours by tweeting “Michael and Freddy think it would be a shame to just do one show while we’re in the UK.”

The tweet was accompanied by a photo of the band’s set up, including a bass drum featuring a photo of Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury.

Foo Fighters are currently preparing for their new album ‘Sonic Highways’, set for release on November 10th via Rosewell Records.

‘Sonic Highways’ was recorded in eight different studios across North America - Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington DC, and New York - with each city providing a guest musician (eg. Eagles’ Joe Walsh for Los Angeles), and every song being devoted to the city of choice.

There’s also going to be nine different album covers available: one representing each of the eight cities that inspired the record, along with one final piece of artwork, suitably dubbed their ‘forever’ cover.
