For the Foo Fighters, 2020 is shaping up to be a year of milestones. Dave Grohl and company recently finished work on their 10th studio album and announced a spring tour, where they’ll hit the same cities as they did on their first tour back in 1995.
It turns out the Foo Fighters have even more in store for their silver anniversary: today (March 3) the band announced D.C. Jam, a one-day mini-festival set for July 4 at FedExField in Landover, Md. The Foo-curated bill features Chris Stapleton, Pharrell, the Go-Go’s, Band of Horses, Durand Jones & The Indications, the Regrettes, Beach Bunny, Radkey, and of course, a headlining set from the band running the show.
The D.C.-area bash will also feature a BBQ competition, a tailgate party, rides, and other games.
Tickets go on sale to the general public March 6 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Prior to that, D.C. Jam has a number of presales available: a Foo Fighters fan presale March 3 at 12:00 p.m. ET, a Citi cardmember presale March 3 at 12:00 p.m. ET, a Chris Stapleton fan presale March 5 at 12:00 p.m. ET, and a Live Nation presale for Washington Redskins season ticket members and FedExField Events fans on March 5 at 12:00 p.m. ET.
As for new music, the Foo Fighters have not yet shared any songs off their new album (or a release date or album title, for that matter) but since it figures to coincide with their big 25th, expect news on that front soon. Their last studio album was 2017’s Concrete and Gold.
