Dave Grohl is apparently planning a concert starring a new supergroup to coincide with the release of his new film.

The Foo Fighters star's directorial debut, Sound City, features an 'incredible cast of legendary musicians' according to Grohl - and the same musicians could be set to take part in a show at the Sundance film festival.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, Grohl has brought the stars together into a band called Sound City Players, made up of the artists featured in his documentary. The soundtrack for the film includes Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor and Josh Homme, so this is one collaboration that we'd love to see.

It's also speculated that Paul McCartney could be included in the Sundance show, as he recently joined the remaining members of Nirvana to perform new song 'Cut Me Some Slack' at the 12.12.12. benefit concert, and the song was discovered to be from the Sound City soundtrack.

Grohl's documentary explores the history of the Sound City recording studios, located in California, which is where Nirvana recorded Nevermind in 1991.

Speaking about the film in a statement, Grohl said, "As a first-time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America's greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City.

"Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity and passion for art. I am over the moon!"
