Expressing excitement ahead of the band's maiden performance in the country, frontman Dave Grohl said, “After 31 years as a band, we can’t wait to finally play for our fans in India. It’s taken a few years but we promise it’ll be worth the wait. We hope Bengaluru and Mumbai are ready for a couple of very long, very loud nights.”
Foo Fighters was formed in Seattle in 1994 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a solo project following the disbandment of Nirvana. Over the years, it evolved into one of the world's most successful rock bands.
The current lineup includes Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett, keyboardist Rami Jaffee and drummer Ilan Rubin.
Across its career, the band has won 15 Grammy Awards, including five for Best Rock Album. In 2021, Foo Fighters received the Global Icon Award at the MTV Video Music Awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in its first year of eligibility.
The band is known for anthems such as This Is a Call, Everlong, Monkey Wrench, My Hero, Learn to Fly, All My Life, Times Like These, Best of You, The Pretender, Walk, These Days, The Sky Is a Neighborhood, No Son of Mine, Rescued, and Under You.
Its 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, was released on April 24.
