In 2011 Foo Fighters’ recorded an album to tape in Dave Grohl’s garage. In 2014 they recorded an album in 8 cities and turned it into an HBO television series. Could the Foo Fighters next groundbreaking career move be a residency in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas Weekly reports that at Foo Fighters’ New Years Eve Show, Grohl revealed the band had discussed a possible Las Vegas residency. Britney Spears in recent years has been a fixture in Las Vegas with an extended residency.
“When Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl listed off some of the band’s Las Vegas New Year’s Eve competition—Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears—the audience at the Chelsea inside the Cosmopolitan erupted into boos, and while Grohl attempted to calm the fans down, it’s clear that his long-running rock band offered a major contrast to the typical Vegas spectacle on display for the holiday.
Later in the show, Grohl even teased the possibility of the Foos launching their own Vegas residency, playing three-hour shows each night with changing setlists, in a small, sweaty venue. He claimed that the band members tossed the idea around four years ago, but might come back to it ‘someday before we’re in our 70s.'”
Foo Fighters went back to basics with their latest album Concrete and Gold, without any of the gimmicks/concepts from the last couple of albums.
