Summertime ... and the Foo Fighters are back
Foo Fighters have been unveiled as Summer Sessions’ second headline act for 2019. Dave Grohl and co will take to the stage on Saturday, August 17, in the city’s Bellahouston Park – ending a four-year absence from the Scottish live scene. It’s the second big announcement for the festival as The Cure make their return to Scotland after 27 years to perform on Friday, August 16 – with support from Mogwai and the Twilight Sad.
This summer’s series saw Kendrick Lamar, N.E.R.D and Catfish and The Bottle Men take to the stage across a show-stopping weekend of live music.
Summer Sessions also travelled to Edinburgh for the first time this year and saw artists, including Sir Tom Jones, Kasabian and Paloma Faith, performing showstopping sets against the iconic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
Geoff Ellis, CEO of DF Concerts said: “To welcome Foo Fighters to Bellahouston Park for the first time is so exciting for music fans all over Scotland. To this day, they are one of the best festival headliners in the world. With their outstanding back catalogue, this is bound to be an unmissable show.
“This announcement, as well as the previous reveal that legendary band The Cure will make their return to Scottish soil after 27 years on Friday, August 16, truly cements Glasgow Summer Sessions as an integral part of the Scottish live music calendar for 2019. With more to come, fans should stay tuned for the full line-up.”
