March 29th, 2015 - iHeartRadio Music Awards 2015's 10 Best and Worst Moments

7. Best Wish Fulfillment Fantasy

UK Foo Fighters | Concorde 2 | Brighton

Following in the footsteps of Grohl, Hawkins, Shiflett and Mendel!

Remember when one of the world’s biggest bands; the Foo Fighters, played a secret show at Concorde 2 to 400 very lucky fans one sunny afternoon in August 2007 for BBC Radio 1 - Chris Moyles Show?  Dave Grohl pronounced Concorde 2 as “the perfect venue".

Well..... it's happening rockers! We are so stoked to announce on Saturday 27th September, as part of our national tour, we will be playing Concorde 2.
