Foo Fighters will return to Madison Square Garden on June 20 for their first headlining arena show in two years.

The first hint of this special event came from the band themselves, posting a Danny Clinch photo of Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins backstage at the Garden, hamming it up for the pre-encore backstage camera, with the caption “start spreading the news…”. Soon afterwards, fans noticed posters beginning to appear around New York City, teasing ‘Rock & Roll Returns to the Garden’ with June 20 as the date. More posters began to appear with the iconic FF logo in the bottom-right corner, giving the game away. At the same time, a website appeared with a countdown clock and a plain version of the poster sans logo. When the time ran out, the website refreshed to reveal the logo and a new timer began counting down three more days, but by then the band’s social media exploded with the official news:

How long was the Foo Fighters concert at Madison Square Garden?

Given the scope of this concert and the unprecedented live atmosphere, Foo Fighters took it upon themselves to release pro-shot footage of their entire performance at MSG. The band's near 3 hour set can be seen on their youtube channel for free, which includes songs from their 2021 album Medicine at Midnight.

Is there an opening act for Foo Fighters at MSG?

With no opening act, Foo Fighters fittingly eased into the show with a stripped down “Times Like These” that built into a boisterous, full-band experience. The first three songs were a thunderous “welcome home” to the crowd and to the band themselves, with “The Pretender” and “Learn to Fly” rounding it out.

Will Foo Fighters cancel their tour 2022?

“It is with great sadness that Foo Fighters confirm the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates in light of the staggering loss of our brother Taylor Hawkins, the band said in a statement to CNN. “We're sorry for and share in the disappointment that we won't be seeing one another as planned.

When did the Foo Fighters play Madison Square Garden?

Foo Fighters have shared footage of their Madison Square Garden gig in full and it's quite the treat. The band, led by Dave Grohl, were given the honour of opening the iconic New York venue on 20 June 2021, which had been closed since 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
