Foo Fighters bring their stadium show to a modest NYC venue. Inside the exclusive, surprise concert
The sold-out club set featured the live debut of a new song and a five-song encore, including the 1998 soundtrack cut “A320.”
- On Thursday, the Foo Fighters performed a sold-out surprise show at Irving Plaza in Manhattan for approximately 1,000 fans, with tickets priced at $30 each.
- The intimate performance followed the band's release last week of their 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, described by The Associated Press's Dennis Waszak as an aggressive punk collection.
- Front man Dave Grohl mixed new tracks like "Spit Shine" with classics "Monkey Wrench" and "My Hero," while debuting "Window" and performing "A320" from the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack.
- The band's performance two years ago at Citi Field in Queens held nearly 42,000 fans, prompting Grohl to tell the crowd, "Next time we'll try to make it feel like this."
- A second surprise show is scheduled for Saturday at the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey, offering fans rare access to the band in an intimate setting compared to typical stadium tours.
