Foo Fighters’ show in Lexington, Kentucky tonight is being rescheduled due to a family emergency. According to a press release, “The band sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience and looks forward to returning to rock Lexington in May.” The concert at the Rupp Arena has been rescheduled for 5/1, and all tickets for tonight’s show will be honored at the new date. Refunds are also available at the point of purchase.
Here is an excerpt from NME‘s recent Foo Fighters feature:
Two days before our tea-drinking sesh, Foo Fighters played a sold-out show at London’s O2 arena, rattling through almost three hours of hits from their epic back catalogue. “We were told there was a hard curfew at 11 and we’d get fined if we didn’t meet it, so I asked how much it would be if we went over time, and I thought, ‘We can afford that’, so we just carried on playing,” says Dave.
Being a Foos fan in 2017 has become something of an endurance test. “We played for nearly four hours in Sydney once,” Dave brags. But do they ever worry about the fans getting Foos fatigue? “I’m usually the last guy at the party and that’s not something you want to happen at a rock concert. I don’t want to be the last one there. I’d appreciate it if everyone stayed. But they usually do!”
The band knows it helps to keep some tricks up your sleeve for that point in the set when the fans are thinking, as Dave puts it, “Just f**king play ‘Everlong’ and let us go home”. At this week’s show, that secret sauce was a special appearance by one “badass motherf**ker” going by the name of, er, Rick Astley. “Rick is the man. The seventh Foo Fighter. He’s such a sweetheart,” Dave gushes about his new pal.
