1,000 Foo Fighters fans came together to cover the band's classic 'Learn To Fly' in a bid to attract them to play in their town. Check it out below.
The Rockin' 1000 launched their campaign last year, after successful Kickstarter campaign saw the band to play Virginia in the US, before a similar one to bring the band to Birmingham in the UK reached its target and another campaign for Dave Grohl and co to play in Cornwall smashed through it's £150,000 target, raising £163,426.
But this campaign had a twist - for 1,000 fans in the Northern Italian city of Cesena pledging to all play 'Learn To Fly' at once in a bid to attract their attention.
“The Foo Fighters are not in Romagna since 1997, it’s time to get them back, but we need a crazy idea,” they said on their website. “We have to organize something that kicks ass worldwide and can be seen by Dave Grohl: We will ask one thousand rockers to play one of their songs, all together and at the same time.”
And they certainly pulled it off.
“What we did here is a huge, huge miracle,” the event’s creator Fabio Zaffagnini explained. “One thousand rockers that came from all over the nation at their own expense, and they just did one song — your song. We ask you, the Foo Fighters, to come play for us.”
