Foo Fighters have cancelled their upcoming Van Tour that would have commemorated the bandâs 25th anniversary.
The dates were originally scheduled to take place this spring but had to be rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
After postponing the tourâs start until October, the Foos have now announced that the run of shows will no longer take place at all. “Foo Fighters have cancelled the Van Tour 2020,” a statement posted on their social media channels read.
“For further information, please visit your point of purchase. We look forward to seeing you all as soon as it is safe for everyone to do so.”

Foo Fightersâ frontman Dave Grohl recently revealed he often found it âterrifyingâ to lead the band in their first decade together, after spending his time behind the drums with Nirvana.
“Coming out and standing [on stage]⊠I mean, fuck, Iâd been sitting on a drum stool for so long that, oh my God, now I have to stand in front of people?” he said. “How does my body move? What do I say in-between songs?”
The bandâs self-titled debut album celebrated its 25th anniversary last month (July 4) and Grohl reflected on the record in a new interview. âIt was almost like a school project,â he explained. âI was preparing, I had charts.â
