2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Foo Fighters to perform Yasalam After-Race concert on Sunday Night.
Major concert news announced this week for this year’s FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 2023. Global music icons, Foo Fighters will perform on Sunday night at this year’s Yasalam After-Race Concerts, and EDM royalty Tiësto and US pop star Ava Max to perform Thursday 24th November, 2023.
The 1995 release of Foo Fighters’ self-titled debut album began the ascent of Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee to their current standing as the last great American arena/stadium rock band.
Along the way the group have won 12 Grammy Awards, sold tens of millions of records and spawned anthems like “This Is A Call,” “Everlong,” “Monkey Wrench,” “My Hero,” “Learn To Fly,” “All My Life,” “Times Like These,” “Best Of You,” “The Pretender,” “Walk,” “These Days,” “The Sky Is A Neighborhood” and more. Foo Fighters’ monolithic catalogue includes that eponymous debut, The Colour and the Shape, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, One By One, the epic double In Your Honor, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, Wasting Light, Sonic Highways (which shared its title with the double-Emmy-winning Dave Grohl-directed HBO docuseries), and 2017’s international #1 Concrete and Gold, which included the Best Rock Song Grammy winner “Run.”
The band released their self-titled debut album in 1995, and have gone on to become one of the must-see live rock bands. Following the tragic passing of their original drummer Taylor Hawkins, the band took a short hiatus but are back, with their new album But Here We Are, which will be released on June 2.
Tickets are available online at www.abudhabigp.com and through the Yas Marina Circuit on 800 927 or 02 659 9800.
