Foo Fighters announced today that they will undertake an eight-city run of shows in contest-winning fans garages. The band will perform songs from its new album, “Wasting Light,” which will be released April 12 — and was recorded in Dave Grohl’s garage.
According to a press release from the band:
Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear have teamed with BlackBerry and local radio stations to create a once in a lifetime opportunity for the ultimate fan to host a Foo Fighters live performance in his or her actual garage for these eight dates only.
Fans who want a shot at making their garage one of these eight intimate venues can either enter the contest directly by explaining, in 25 words or less, why they (and 50 of their friends) deserve to win and then sending in a picture of their garage. For detailed instructions go to www.foofightersgaragetour.com/contest. Listeners of local radio stations will also have a chance to attend the garage show in their town. BlackBerry is also sponsoring a Concert Sweepstakes, in which winners will receive tickets to see the band in concert, an autographed copy of Wasting Light and more.
