Foo Fighters to Play Rock the Vote Benefit Concert
Grunge rockers Foo Fighters set to play show to benefit voter education
Dave Grohl and his grunge rock boys in Foo Fighters are lending their talents to the cause of voter education. The band have just announced that they will rock a small show at the Fillmore Charlotte in North Carolina on Sept. 5 as a benefit for Rock the Vote. The concert is scheduled during the Democratic National Convention.
So, what’s the purpose of this show? In an official statement, the band explained that the gigs is aiming to “celebrate the power of young voters … and support Rock the Vote’s ground-breaking efforts to register more than 1.5 million young people, educate and turn them out to vote this November.”
Tickets for the Foo gig are available via Live Nation and Ticketmaster outlets. In other Foo news, the band are also confirmed to play at the Global Festival on Sept. 29 in New York City’s Central Park, another charitable show. The objective of the festival is to raise awareness and money for the growing, global epidemic of poverty.
