Fans Successfully Crowdfund Foo Fighters’ Return To Richmond
Back in March, some dedicated Foo Fighters fans hatched a plan to make the band play a concert in Richmond, VA, where they hadn’t performed since 1998. Their efforts paid off yesterday — after convincing 1,400 people (and a few local companies) to buy tickets for $50 each for a concert that didn’t officially exist, the Foo Fighters confirmed on Twitter yesterday that they’d be playing in the city. “I’m beyond excited,” campaign organizer Andrew Goldin told WTVR. “Just when I thought I couldn’t like this band anymore they go and do something like this. There’s no date or venue set but they’ll probably make the stop when they go on tour to support their eighth album, which is due out in the fall.
