Foo Fighters have surprise-released a new live EP. Are Playing Where ???? Vol. 1 was captured across the surprise club shows that the band played across the U.S. in September. It’s available exclusively on Bandcamp, with proceeds going towards local charities working to combat food insecurity in San Luis Obispo and Santa Ana, California, Washington, D.C., and New Haven, Connecticut—the four cities where the gigs took place. Listen to Are Playing Where ???? Vol. 1 below.
Foo Fighters shared their latest studio album, But Here We Are, in 2023. The LP was recorded after the death of the band’s longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in 2022. Earlier this year, Dave Grohl & co. parted ways with Hawkins’ replacement, Josh Freese, and hired Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin; Freese then ended up joining Nine Inch Nails. Foo Fighters recently covered Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” and shared “Today’s Song,” their first original music since the release of But Here We Are.
