Foo Fighters have just added 10 news stops to its North American itinerary. The dates include nine Canadian shows and one U.S. date, which will serve as the tour’s finale on October 7th at Bend, Oregon’s Hayden Homes Amphitheater. The Foos have a couple of pre-tour concerts booked before launching the trek in May, and will next play on February 26th in Tempe, Arizona at Innings Festival.

The newly-inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have snagged three nominations at the 2021 Grammys, with Medicine At Midnight making the shortlist for Best Rock Album, “Waiting On A War” for Best Rock Song, and “Making A Fire” for Best Rock Performance. The 64th Annual Grammy Awards air on April 3rd at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Foo Fighters’ first movie, Studio 666, opens on February 25th, The horror-comedy stars the band and features appearances by Lionel Richie, Whitney Cummings, Jeff Garlin, and Will Forte. Studio 666 was directed BJ McDonnell and based on an original story by Dave Grohl.

Longtime Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel told us a while back what he thinks has been a key to the Foos’ longevity: “Well, one of the things, I think, that’s made the band work so well is how we kind of structured it in the beginning and the opportunity we had, because Dave had been in Nirvana, to do things the way we wanted to do it. We didn’t have the pressure that a lot of bands do of having to write the hit song. I mean, thankfully Dave’s a good songwriter and able to write catchy songs, but we don’t have that pressure where you have somebody breathing over your shoulder, and I think that really is something that destroys a lot of bands.”
