Foo Fighters - Dave Grohl's Eminent Outfit Return in 2014

Rising to stardom from the ashes of iconic 1990s grunge band Nirvana, the Foo Fighters have become one of the most successful hard rock acts on the planet. With Dave Grohl leading the way, the five-piece started out by firing up the underground alternative scene before taking over commercial airwaves in the 2000s.

Famous for their heroic live performances and highly-accessible sound, they weave heavy guitar riffs, pretty melodies and punk rock rebellion with enviable ease. In 2014 they are set to release their new album, recorded in eight different studios across eight different states in the US. Their return will be fronted by an epic performance at the Invictus Games in London in September, so purchase Foo Fighters tickets now at StubHub UK.

Foo Fighters Biography - Over Ten Million Record Sales and Still Going Strong

Dave Grohl originally formed the Foo Fighters as a solo project in 1994, after Nirvana disbanded following the untimely death of Kurt Cobain. Naming the project after the group of allied aircraft pilots who reported UFOs during World War II, the Ohio native decided to put down his drum sticks and pick up his first instrumental love - the guitar. Using song writing as a vessel for his pent-up emotions following the death of Cobain, Grohl quickly produced a fiery fifteen track demo that attracted interest from major labels. Not wanting to go at it alone, he recruited the rest of the band and the rest is history.

By 1997, their sophomore album The Colour and The Shape had cemented the act as a radio staple, spawning classic hard rock hits like 'Monkey Wrench' and 'My Hero'. In 1999, their follow-up album There is Nothing Left to Lose soared to triumph, producing the US Billboard Chart topping track 'Learn to Fly' and fan-favourite 'Best of You'. Their signature album, One by One, fashioned some of their most iconic songs in 2002, including 'Times Like These' and 'All My Life'. They have continued to storm the charts with their flawless back catalogue, cementing their status as one of the greatest stadium rock acts of all time. From their first album to their later LP's like Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace and Wasting Light, the Foos have stayed true to the heavy guitar sound they do so well.
