Huge news, Foo Fighters fans! Following last week’s confirmation from Dave Grohl that the band’s new album is now finished, the rock titans have revealed that they’ll be hitting the road in the U.S. to celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band.

The Foos had previously promised that 2020 would be “an insane year full of some seriously crazy shit”, and they’re sticking to that so far by announcing The Van Tour.

Music Is Facing a Mental Health Crisis

Money is tight while they work long and weird hours, travel incessantly, are isolated from their friends and family at home, and have ample access to drinks and drugs. They write, record, release, and promote, and then repeat the cycle over and over again. And now, more than ever, the industry demands constant content, lest they are forgotten in the ocean of songs hitting Spotify every Friday. But then they get in the van and, especially in Canada, drive absurd distances between low-paying gigs for a tour they likely had to book themselves.
