Starter Pack: Foo Fighters

thefader.com:

Following the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, drummer Dave Grohl was at a creative crossroads in 1994. Faced with the prospect of joining yet another band as its drummer, he instead founded one of the most iconic rock bands of the last 30 years.

On the heels of the release of their latest album But Here We Are, the band is set to co-headline Harley-Davidson's inaugural Homecoming Festival, a 4-day food, music, and moto-culture festival in the brand's hometown of Milwaukee.

Happening July 13-16, the festival marks the culmination of yearlong celebrations of the brand's 120th anniversary. With a whole host of events at venues across the city including the Harley-Davidson Museum and Harley-Davidson Powertrain Operations, Foo Fighters take the stage at Veterans Park on July 15 alongside Cody Jinks, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, White Reaper, and Ghost Hounds.

After their own tragic loss late last year, the band canceled their remaining 2022 tour dates and returned to the studio before dropping "Rescue" and "Under You" earlier this year.
