Ohio native Dave Grohl really appreciates Canada.
In a Super Bowl industrial for Crown Royal, the Foo Fighters frontman paid homage to the Great North for bringing the world musical greats Rush and Joni Mitchell, comedy stars like Martin Short and for introducing the world to the paint roller and poutine.
Nonetheless, on the time of publication, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group doesn’t have any shows lined up above the Northern border this 12 months.
As of now, Foo Fighters are sticking to the U.S. and playing a handful of recently announced live shows in addition to headlining five (!) festivals from May through September.
That even features a stop at Asbury Park’s beach-based Sea.Hear.Now Festival on Sept. 16-17.
Over the course of the five star-studded festivals, Grohl and co. will share the stage with legends like KISS, Green Day, Pixies, Kendrick Lamar, Sheryl Crow and so many more.

Based on records on Set List FM, Foo Fighters refuses to phone it in once they headline.
At every festival the group played in 2022, they performed a minimum of 19 songs.
Along with the sing-along hits you realize and love like “Everlong,” “Best Of You,” “The Pretender,” “Learn To Fly” and “My Hero,” the band also mixes in covers from groups like Tom Petty, Queen and Jane’s Addiction.
What’s going to they take to the stage this 12 months?
We are able to’t say for certain but we do know is the perfect option to discover is live.
Foo Fighters recent music
Although they’ve been lively since 1994, Foo Fighters isn’t done experimenting.
In truth, their most up-to-date record, “Dream Widow” under the fictional band Dream Widow, is a complete departure from the band’s hard rock sound.
Over the course of eight tracks, the group goes full metal.
Billboard raved that “Dream Widow” seemed like it was “dragged from the belly of the beasts which can be Metallica and Motorhead.”
The heavy songs, which may be heard within the group’s 2022 horror-comedy film “Studio 666″ may be heard here.
Foo Fighters movie
While Grohl and his bandmates aren’t known for his or her acting chops, the group went outside their comfort zone once more in 2022 and starred in “Studio 666” alongside comedy ringers Will Forte, Jeff Garlin, Whitney Cummings and Jenna Ortega.
For context, the Foo aren’t playing “Dream Widow” — that heavy metal band mentioned above are featured within the film’s prologue where we see the gruesome events that set the story in motion.
To kick things off, Dream Widow’s frontman offs his bandmates in 1993 at a cursed mansion.
26 years later, Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, keyboardist/pianist Rami Jaffee, bassist Nate Mendel and guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear settle into that exact same mansion to record their next album.
Unfortunately, Grohl becomes possessed and hijinks ensue.
In case you’d like to examine out the film, “Studio 666” may be streamed on Amazon Prime for $3.99.
Taylor Hawkins substitute
Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins tragically passed away on March 25, 2022.
The group quickly scrapped their 2022 tour after the shocking news.
Nonetheless, now that the group is back on the road, fans are wondering who could possibly replace Hawkins.
Pennsylvania classic rock station 94.3 WQCM speculated that potential candidates include Josh Freese (who’s played with Guns N Roses) and Rufus Taylor (son of Queen’s Roger Taylor).
In addition they suggested Hawkins’ 12-year-old son Shane who played a tribute concert with Foo Fighters would make a very good fit.
You may see Shane Hawkins’ performance with the band below.
