It has been a big week for the Foo Fighters, having announced the completion of their new album (due for release in November) and selling out London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in a matter of hours, but today the big news continues with the announcement of the date of Sonic Highways’ first episode.
The show, directed by Dave Grohl, will debut on HBO on October 17th, and another episode will be broadcast each subsequent Friday. It features the Foo Fighters visiting eight American cities, including Seattle and Chicago, and interviewing musicians in each of the cities, such as Cheap Trick‘s Rick Nielsen.
Sonic Highways is made to accompany the Foo Fighters upcoming album, and the first episode will feature the first song to be taken from the upcoming album.
