The mural is located on Stucley Place, just off Camden High Street.

Paying tribute to Nirvana’s third and final album, the album artwork has been recreated on a pink background. Fans are being encouraged to visit the mural and to leave their messages for the band, honouring the 1993 album.

In Utero was an instant critical and commercial success, debuting at No.1 on the UK Albums Chart and No.1 on the US Billboard 200. The album included iconic tracks such as “Heart-Shaped Box,” “Dumb” and “Rape Me.” To celebrate its 30th anniversary, a special edition reissue of the album was released last week.  

Speaking on the album’s impact, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic said, “When you listen to it, it goes somewhere. It’s dark, it’s beautiful, it’s all points in between. It’s bittersweet. We recorded it in about a week and a few of the songs were the first take. We were well-rehearsed and loved playing together. That was our glue as a band. We played live and it was live to tape.”

Novoselic continued, “It’s amazing what can happen when three people with instruments get together. You could make so much sound in a way that captures the imagination. That’s the beauty of music: you invite people in. The record can be pretty, but it can also be dark. Going back to this record, I was just reminded of our humanity as a group. There were a lot of different statements on there and that’s what you get: the post-’Nevermind’ Nirvana, after becoming a world-famous band.”

The 30th anniversary reissue of In Utero has been released in several formats, including a limited-edition eight LP super deluxe box set, a five CD super deluxe box set and a digital super deluxe edition, amongst others.

Novoselic shared his thoughts on the reissue, saying, “This one’s got a lot of cool things like backstage passes and little things you can hold, like The Who’s ‘Live At Leeds’ record.”

He continued, “I’m excited about the live shows on there, because they used AI. We took the digital audio tapes from the soundboard in Rome, Seattle and Los Angeles, then the AI can separate all the instruments and we got a really good mix out of it.”

The In Utero 30th anniversary reissue is available to purchase in various formats here.

The UK shows are set to take place across June of 2024, with them visiting London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Cardiff along the way.

The band took to Twitter to share a promotional tour video to get the UK fans hyped for the shows to come, with tickets already being on sale.

This tour follows their explosive Glastonbury performance which was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews. In a set that the Guardian declared “recaptured their very essence,” frontman Dave Grohl promised to return to the UK, and as highlighted in a tour press release, he is “making good” on this promise. Though Grohl may have humbly travelled to Glastonbury by train, his performance solidified him as the star that he is.

Taking to Twitter once again, the Foo Fighters shared another UK tour-related video with the message “We’re coming back next year for a whole fucking tour so you can come back and see us then.”  

The Everything or Nothing at All tour will see the band’s longest stretch in the UK since the release of their eleventh studio album in June 2023, But Here We Are. Met with critical aclaim, But Here We Are was their first album release since the death of their longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins.

The support acts for the tour have already been announced, with the Foo Fighters being joined by Wet Leg, Hot Milk, Courtney Barnett, Honeyblood and Shame.

Full tour details were shared on the band’s Twitter, and can also be found below:

It has been revealed that the band took the Great Western Railway service from London to Glastonbury at 11am, then disembarked at Bath Spa and took minibuses to the festival. The group made use of the exclusive First Class Lounge in Paddington, with the first group arriving at 10:20am. In order to keep his identity secret, Grohl was one the last people to arrive at the station.

Great Western Railway posted a picture of Grohl and a member of the train operator’s service development team, with guitarist Pat Smear and bass player Nate Mendel in the background. In a tweet, GWR wrote: “Even rock royalty knows that there is no better way to travel to Glastonbury than by train! You never know who is going to churn up on board our trains!” The tweet was posted on social media after the band’s surprise set was performed.

The American rock band surprised fans at Glastonbury Festival on Friday, June 23. Prior to the big reveal, an unknown act named The Churnups were scheduled to perform on the Pyramid Stage at 6:15pm BST. On their Instagram, Foo Fighters posted a clip from their Friday performance. They wrote, “Thank you glastofest!!!”

See the video on the Foo Fighters’ Instagram below:

The last time the band performed at Glastonbury Festival was in 2017. Onstage, Grohl asked the crowed, “Last time we played here was 2017 I don’t know how many of y’all were there that time?” They then performed their set including a touching song “Show Me How” dedicated to Grohl’s late mother.

As of now, Dave Grohl has performed at this year’s Glastonbury Festival three times. The first time he performed at the festival was when Foo Fighters revealed they were the mysterious act The Churnups. During this set, they dedicated their final song “Everlong” to Taylor Hawkins, their late drummer who passed away at the age of 50 last March. On Saturday, Grohl and Johnny Marr joined The Pretenders onstage, and the Foo Fighters’ frontman joined Guns N’ Roses for the song “Paradise City”. Guns N’ Roses were the headlining act for Saturday’s festival.

Foo Fighters’ appearance at Glastonbury Festival is the band’s first full gig in the UK since the death of their drummer, Taylor Hawkins. However, they did hold a tribute concert to Taylor in London last year. Recently, the band confirmed that they will be going on tour next summer and be returning to the UK. They wrote on Instagram, “Stay tuned…” along with a video.

A band called ‘The ChurnUps’ were scheduled to play on the pyramid stage at 6.15pm, with Glastonbury fans confused as no band under this name existed. There was plenty of speculation over the past few weeks, as the Foo Fighters were rumoured to be playing a surprise set at the festival. This was all due to a statement they released earlier this month. The statement wrote ‘’It feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together.’’ Bands such as Tenacious D, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Pulp were among those who were also rumoured to be playing within the mystery ‘The ChurnUps’ set.

The band confirmed the news they was at Glastonbury festival prior to their surprise set on stage, posting a picture to their Instagram of a bunch of flags, with one saying ‘’CHURN IT UP.’’ The picture was captioned ‘#Glastonbury2023.

The Foo Fighters were welcomed to the stage by a sound wave of cheers. As Dave Grohl spoke to the crowd, he said, ‘’You guys fucking knew it was us this whole time, didn’t you? We’re happy to see you guys. It’s nice to see you guys after all this time.” During their performance, Dave Grohl brought his daughter, Violet, to the stage to sing one of the band’s new songs from their recently released album, ‘’But Here We Are.’’ He explained that the song, called ‘’Show Me How’’, was written as a tribute to his late-mother.

As they performed their final song, ‘‘Everlong’‘, the band dedicated the song to their late-drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who passed away last March at the age of 50. Grohl said,”Lets sing this one loud and sing for Mr Taylor.” The Glastonbury crowd cheered as he continued by saying, ”Sing it for T.” The Foo Fighters drumming spot has recently been taken over by Josh Freese. He was announced as the new drummer on a live stream of the band performing in early May on the app, Veeps. Josh Freese has worked with iconic bands such as Weezer, Nine Inch Nails and Glastonbury 2023 headliners Guns N’ Roses.

Foo Fighters sang some of their greatest hits during their Glastonbury set, including ‘’Best of You’’, ‘’My Hero’’, ‘’Learn To Fly”, ”All My Life” and ‘’The Pretender.’’ Dave Grohl also confirmed the band will be returning to the UK next summer to embark on their highly anticipated tour. A release date for the tickets or any confirmation of where they will be performing is still yet to be announced.

Festival goers will be hoping a further, even darker cloud, avoids the Pyramid Stage as Arctic Monkeys’ set has been thrown into doubt after frontman Alex Turner has been diagnosed with acute Laryngitis.

The vocal ailment has the potential to completely sideline the band, as it has now emerged that the Sheffield Indie rock heroes may have to pull the plug on their appearance at the hallowed grounds in Somerset. The group have already cancelled their Dublin show on Tuesday and fans are understandably nervous that Arctic Monkeys may have to give Glastonbury a miss as well.

In an effort to quell the anxiety over what is arguably one of the most eagerly awaited performances, co-organiser Emily Eavis has shared her belief that things will turn out just fine. Speaking to reporters outside Glastonbury’s gates, she said, “I think we are going to be alright. They’ve cancelled that [Dublin show], he’s recovering. I’m sure we’re going to be alright.” 


In a worst case scenario, the festival seems to have contingency plans in place with Eavis declaring that there are always back up plans. With such a sprawling festival that gathers around 210,000 fans, plan Bs have to be well organised should the rare event happen that a band cannot play. So, festival goers can rest easy that no matter what happens, Glastonbury will be sure to please.

And the festival is often full of surprises. Only days ago it was announced that The Pretenders would be doing a surprise set on the Park Stage and rumours have been rife that none other than  legendary American superstars, the Foo Fighters would be making a surprise appearance. In fact, many have speculated that it will be the Dave Grohl fronted mega band that will replace Arctic Monkeys should that come to pass. Eavis has remained mum on the topic however.

All of this could (and most likely will) be moot however, as according to The Independent on Thursday evening, Turner is fine and fully intends to lead the Arctic Monkeys out onto the Pyramid Stage to fulfil their headlining slot. The thousands of fans thronging the Glastonbury festival grounds will certainly be keeping their fingers crossed that this turns out to be true.

The Arctic Monkeys are at the end of their UK and Ireland tour with special guests The Hives and the Mysterines. Besides their Glastonbury set, the band have one date left-in Glasgow on Sunday.

Arctic Monkeys UK and Ireland Tour:

23/06/2023 – Glastonbury Festival – Somerset
25/06 – Bellahouston Park – Glasgow

On 17th August, Foo Fighters posted the final lineup along with streaming information and details of the charities involved. Taylor’s son Shane Hawkins has been added to the bill alongside Nile Rogers, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, AC/DC vocalist Brian Johnson, Kesha and Violet Grohl, Dave Grohl‘s daughter. They join an already packed line-up which includes, Brian May (Queen), Lars Ulrich (Metallica) and Krist Novoselic (Nirvana). 

The talented drummer tragically passed in March of this year aged 50; a cause of death is yet to be announced. His band mates were left “devastated” by his passing and all upcoming Foo Fighters shows were cancelled. Three months later, the band, along with the Hawkins Family, announced two tribute concerts to celebrate his life and work. The first of which will take place at Wembley Stadium in London on 3rd September, followed by a show in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum on 27th September.

The show will support two charities selected by the Hawkins Family. The first, Music Support, helps those who work in music and live events affected by mental ill-health and/or addiction. The concert will also provide funding to MusiCares, which provides a “safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need”

The band also announced that they will be streaming the events live to those in the UK and US. The London show will be streamed on Saturday 3rd September at 4.30pm on MTV YouTube Channels (Globally) and Pluto TV (Internationally) along with Paramount +. Bob Bakish, president and CEO at Paramount said, “Music is a powerful connector, and we are honoured to commemorate Taylor Hawkins’ enduring legacy”. Paramount are set to present the entire concert live. The presentation has bn directed by Joel Gallen and Produced by Emer Patten at EP-PIC Films & Creative. The Wembley Stadium show will be available to stream live and on demand across Paramount’s streaming and digital platforms, including some special editions. CBS Television Network will broadcast an hour-long version of the on Saturday 3rd September  and MTV will offer air a one-hour special across its channels around the world, followed by an extended two-hour special that will air globally in September.

Taylor’s success behind the kit leaves a lasting legacy. He recorded nine studio albums with Foo Fighters and was the touring drummer for Sass Jordan and Alanis Morissette. He was voted Best Rock Drummer by drumming magazine Rhythm twice and was inducted, alongside his bandmates, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His final performance with the Foo Fighters Lollapalooza Argentina festival was on March 20th. The following month, Foo Fighters won three Grammy awards. 

He and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl had a special bond, which Dave wrote about in his 2021 memoir, The Storyteller, he wrote: “Upon first meeting, our bond was immediate, and we grew closer with every day, every song, every note that we ever played together,” “I am not afraid to say that our chance meeting was a kind of love at first sight, igniting a musical ‘twin flame’ that still burns to this day. Together, we have become an unstoppable duo, onstage and off, in pursuit of any and all adventure we can find.”

Since the announcement, the band have been rightfully quiet, with nothing in the way of interviews or conversations about Hawkins or the future of the band. But now, to celebrate Hawkins’ life, achievements, and relationships, Foo Fighters and The Hawkins family bring you the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts. 2 shows, the first at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 3rd and the second at LA’s Kia Forum September 27th. Tickets go on sale next Friday (June 17th) here.

Along with the announcement of the shows, the Hawkins family also released a statement showing their gratitude towards the community created by Foo Fighters, and the general music scene he affected so greatly.
“As Taylor’s wife, and on behalf of our children, I want to share how much you meant to him and how dedicated he was to ‘knocking your socks off’ during every performance. Taylor was honoured to be a part of the Foo Fighters and valued his dream role in the band every minute of his 25 years with them. We consider every band member and the extended Foo Fighters team our family.
“Taylor’s endearing spirit and deep love of music will live on forever through the collaborations he so enjoyed having with other musicians and the catalogue of songs he contributed to and created.
“In celebration of his life, it is now up to all of us who loved him most to honour Taylor’s legacy and the music he gave us.”

In a statement released by the band after describing Hawkins as, “One of the most respected and beloved figures in modern music”, the band go on to explain, “Millions mourned his untimely passing on March 25, with passionate and sincere tributes coming from fans as well as musicians Taylor idolized. The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts will unite several of those artists, the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon—his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life.”

The full line-up for the shows is yet to be announced, but given the breadth of inspiration that Hawkins drew from, and then the countless number of people who have been affected by his music; it’s safe to assume that as tributes go… this is going to be one to remember.

On a final note, I think it would be unreasonable not to share with you one of my personal highlights for Hawkins. My first Foo Fighters show, at Wembley Stadium for the first time, and seeing Hawkins step away from the drums and do his best Robert Plant impersonation? What a performer.

Originally occurring when most live music was still shut down, Gallagher (in typical fashion) couldn’t be silenced as easily. Setting himself up in a barge and passing through the River Thames in London, he performed a number of Oasis classics alongside some of his more recent solo numbers.

And now is the chance for us all to relive it. Sixteen tracks from the performance will be released on CD, vinyl, cassette and available for streaming from May 27th via Warner Records. Oasis tracks that will feature include ”Champagne Supernova“, “Fade Away“ and “Morning Glory“. The full tracklist can be seen below.


Gallagher’s obviously very excited, as he usually is for any project with his name on it. He said “So here it is, the gig they said we could never pull off! As we were in lockdown, bored and depressed, rock ‘n’ roll came to save the day once again …. It was a top night and a top gig and it’s captured here on record for you to all enjoy.”

If you want to pre-order the new release, you can look here. But it’s not the only thing coming out from Gallagher at the moment. His third studio album, C’MON YOU KNOW, is out the same day (May 27th), and you can listen to one of the new singles “Everything’s Electric“ (co-written with Foo Fighter’s Dave Grohl) below. If you want to read more about this, you can look here.

Aside from all this, he’s even been winning some awards lately. He won at the BandLab NME Awards for Music Moment of the Year, winning for a free gig last year in London’s O2 Arena, playing for NHS workers. You can read more about this here.

The comedy horror motion picture that will be released in the UK on 25th February 2022. The film will be available to watch at participating cinemas across the UK and Ireland. The band took to Instagram to share the release date for their upcoming film.

The upcoming film was directed by BJ McDonnell and stars Foo Fighters’ band members Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jafee. McDonnell has prior experience working with rock bands, having directed multiple music videos for the heavy metal band Slayer, and is also known for his work on the 2013 horror film Hatchet III. The forthcoming musical horror film’s cast also features Whitney Cummings, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega, Jeff Garlin and American Horror Story star Leslie Grossman.

The plot centres around the band’s efforts to record their hotly anticipated tenth studio album, which entails them moving into an Encino mansion to produce their record. The house proves to be overrun with history, both gruesome and musical. The recording space turns into a haunted mansion and supernatural forces take it upon themselves to disrupt the band’s work. A trailer has been released ahead of the movie’s general release.

Speaking on Studio 666, Grohl has given the following statement expressing his passion for the project, “Yep…we actually went and made a big, loud, bloody horror movie. Because…why the hell not?” After keeping Studio 666 our dirty little secret for years, we’re so fucking excited to bring it to you guys for a full-on theatrical release. This thing was MEANT for the big screen. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it.”

Director McDonnell has also spoken on the upcoming feature,  “STUDIO 666 is a perfect combination of all things I love. Rock, horror, and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture. I am so excited to have teamed up with the Foo Fighters to create an old school “Band” movie. It’s been years since we’ve seen something like the Beatles “Help!”, The Monkees “Head”, or “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park”. Take that 60’s / 70’s old school band film fun, mix it with horror and STUDIO 666 is born! I am so ecstatic for audiences of film and music to come together and enjoy our film.”

Studio 666 is not Grohl’s first forayer into film; the founding member and frontman released What Drives Us in 2021. The documentary aims to explore the lives of musicians on the road and the van life in which these artists experience, the feature was the second documentary released in 2021 to be directed by the grunge icon. Grohl also directed and starred in a six-part docu-series entitled From Cradle to Stage, which explored the relationships between artists and their mothers and the influence which the maternal bond held within their lives and art. The series also featured Pharrell Williams, Miranda Lambert and Rage Against the Machine member Tom Morello.
