Dave Grohl says the Foo Fighters are in no rush to hit the road.
The band’s 25th anniversary Van Tour was postponed and then scrapped due to the pandemic. The only Canadian stop scheduled was in Hamilton, Ont. but the Foo Fighters were also set to play Montreal’s Osheaga festival this summer.
“First and foremost, our main concern is that everyone is safe,” Grohl told NME. “Our band wouldn’t just jump out on the road for the sake of having an audience.
“Listen, we really do care for the people that come to see the band, so until we get to a place where everyone’s safe and sound, we’ll just have to adapt and figure out new ways to connect with the audience.”

Grohl said the Foo Fighters thrive on performing live. “I love making records and everything that goes along with being in this band. But being on stage is really where we shine,” he explained.
“Until that can happen safely, we’re just gonna have to f**king knock it out in the rehearsal room.”
The Foo Fighters this week debuted "Shame Shame" off their forthcoming album Medicine at Midnight. Grohl described it as "that Saturday night party album."
