ROCK legends Foo Fighters have today announced four UK stadium shows for next summer – but none in Wales.

No, we’re not pretenders – the band, fronted by Dave Grohl will be delivering their first UK performances since headlining Reading and Leeds festival in 2019.

Foo Fighters have already been putting on sell-out performances in America following the release of their critically acclaimed #1 album, Medicine At Midnight, earlier this year.

They made a historic return to the stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden, playing the city’s first full capacity show in more than a year.

More recently, the band has begun a series of sold-out headline dates and a triumphant headline set closing out this year’s Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.

They have announced 2022 shows in Manchester, Birmingham, and two shows in London.

Mr Grohl said: “We can’t wait to get back to the UK. It’s been far too long. Get ready to make up for lost time with some long ass nights of rock & roll.”
