Mission accomplished: Foo Fighters naar Italië

Een mission impossible. Dit dachten waarschijnlijk verschillenden mensen toen de organisatie Rockin1000 enkele maanden geleden een video postte waarin 1000 muzikanten het nummer Learn To Fly van de Foo Fighters coverden. De bedoeling van deze video was om de Foo Fighters naar Italië te krijgen voor een optreden.

Het duurde niet lang eer dat de Foo Fighters deze videoclip (met ondertussen bijna 26 miljoen hits) ook zagen en ze zakken nu dus effectief af naar Italië. De band zal op 3 november optreden in Cesena. Het optreden is ondertussen al uitverkocht.

Benieuwd als de band in 2016 ook de geannuleerde optredens op Rock Werchter en Pinkpop gaat goedmaken.

Foo Fighters,

I'll never forget that day that my phone was flooded with texts from friends, all saying "Have you seen this???", "Amazing!", "So insane!" with an anonymous YouTube link attached. Assuming it was just another "CAT GETTING STUCK IN A PAPER BAG" video, I didn't bite at first, but after the 10,000th message, I clicked the link and was absolutely blown away by what I saw. To see so many people put so much time, and effort, and love into making music moved me to tears. And the fact that it was a Foo Fighters song...well...it's hard to put into words how humbled that made me feel. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful experiences of my entire life. I walked outside, sat on the grass, turned my camera on and immediately responded (in my best broken Italian)

"Stiamo arrivando! Prometto!"

Ever since that day we have been looking forward to this incredible experience. We're happy to finally announce that it will happen on 3 November at Carisport

We are beyond excited an honored to come play for Cesena. An experience like this comes once in a lifetime, so I'm looking forward to a once in a lifetime show.

Ci vediamo presto, Cesena!
