Foo Fighters Tour 2014: Foo Fighters, The Roots And Imagine Dragons To Headline Super Bowl Weekend, Ready To Play New Songs

The Foo Fighters continue their 2014 tour starting a big gig in one of the biggest stage in sports, the Super Bowl. The Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons and the Roots will headline the three-day festival before the big game on February 2.

The Roots with Busta Rhymes and Run DMC will run a hip-hop show on the first night on January 30. January 31 will be headlined by Imagine Dragons. February 1 will be the day before the Super Bowl which will be topped off by the Foo Fighters alongside Zac Brown Band, where Dave Grohl has been working with before his band's return.

The series of concerts will take place across the Bud Light Hotel in New York where there will be a cruise ship docked on the Hudson River.

The band played two shows in Mexico City, Mexico in Foro Sol and played December 11 and 13. After releasing Wasting Light in 2012, which was a huge hit going on top of the charts in different countries all over the world including a number one spot at the US Billboard 200, band front man Dave Grohl said, "I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters are going to play again. It feels strange to say that, but it's a good thing for all of us to go away for a while." 

The band may possibly play some of their new songs during this show as they are reported to be rehearsing and recording new songs for their new album.

"It's badass. We're doing something that nobody knows about, it's f---ing rad. We begin recording soon, but we're doing it in a way that no one's done before and we're writing the album in a way that I don't think has been done before," Grohl said during his interview with Rolling Stones a few weeks back. "We actually just started making a new Foo Fighters record within the last few weeks. We've started rehearsing."

The announcement of the band to be recording and practicing new stuff signaled the band to end their hiatus.

"It was a very short hiatus," Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett said. "We're going to start recording the new Foo Fighter record at the beginning of next year."
