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 Glasgow at Hampden Park to kick it all off on June 17, 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, hitting London, Cardiff, Birmingham 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 Manchester 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.
Hampden Park in Glasgow seems the perfect place to host the band, with a 51,000 capacity and a long string of massive events having taken place there, such as Coldplay last August, 2022. As usual, Foo Fighters are in good company in Glasgow.
Supporting the rockers in Glasgow on June 17, 2024, will be Isle of Wight duo Wet Leg and up-and-coming Manchester band Loose Articles, ensuring a night full of great vibes and wonderful music. Presale for tickets begins on Wednesday, June 28 at 9am and ends on Thursday, June 29 at 10pm, with general sale starting from Friday, 30 June at 9am here.
