Foo Fighters have been rumoured as headlining Glastonbury for months now, and today may be the day they’re confirmed – with an intimate gig in Frome, Somerset.
Last weekend, fans received mysterious ‘boarding passes’ in the post referencing the fictional ‘Obelisk Airlines’, and featuring the band’s logo inside a pyramid. There was a ‘check-in time’ of 6pm Tuesday, 21st February, which came and went with nothing to report.
Then the band were spotted getting on a plane IRL, launched an Obelisk Airlines website with a countdown to this evening, and now fans have been invited to the Cheese and Grain venue in Frome, near Glastonbury, for a 6pm ‘check in’. The venue meanwhile has announced that it is closed today for “a strictly private event”. Oo-er.
Foo Fighters’ most recent album ‘Sonic Highways’ landed in 2015. Glastonbury takes place from Wednesday 21st – Sunday 25th June, 2017, with Radiohead already announced as a headliner.
