All eyes were on Glastonbury this weekend as Worthy Farm hosted headline slots from third-timers Arctic Monkeys and last-timer Elton John, but many held the most anticipation for a band called ‘The Churnups’… who turned out to be the legendary Foo Fighters. Following their surprise set, the band has announced a huge UK leg of their Everything or Nothing at All tour for 2024, and Foo Fighters will be rocking Birmingham at Villa Park as they wrap it all up on 27 June 2024.
With stadium-fillers such as All My Life, My Hero and Everlong, Foo Fighters belong on the biggest stages in the world, bringing 2000s rock to audiences of all ages. Frontman Dave Grohl has proved himself to be the sweetheart of rock, and an adoptee of British culture, not least by the fact he led the band onto a Great Western train to reach the legendary festival.
The 2024 tour of UK stadiums, also hitting Manchester, London, Cardiff and Glasgow, will be the first since the band lost beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins just last year after suffering a heart attack, and Foo Fighters are sure to keep his memory alive in Birmingham as they have been doing ever since. Their Glastonbury set concluded with the emotional anthem Everlong, which was dedicated to Hawkins, and his memory is never far from the band’s performances.
Villa Park Stadium seems the perfect place to end proceedings and, as usual, Foo Fighters are in good company in Birmingham. Supporting the rockers on 27 July, 2024, up-and-coming Manchester band Hot Milk will open the show, with Australian singer Courtney Barnett also performing. Ensuring a night full of great vibes and wonderful music.
Presale for tickets begins on Wednesday, 28 June at 9am and ends on Thursday, 29 June at 10pm, with general sale starting from Friday, 30 June at 9am here.
