Foo Fighters are not only headlining London's Invictus Games closing ceremony this weekend, but the band also got their fans excitited and intrigued with the hint they posted on Twitter announcing three intimate club shows somewhere in the UK.
Here is the Tweet, which provoked a lot of debate among fans:

Fans then attempted to guess the venue. 'Somewhere in Brixton or Camden' seems to be the most popular speculation:
Tabs I have open on FB: Brixton Academy, Electric Brixton, The Plug, Foo Fighters. On the net: Foo Fighters Forums, FF Twitter, Plug twitter

Today's priorities include refreshing twitter until Foo Fighters reveal the time/place of these club gigs they're doing. Brixton I reckon.

RE: Foo Fighters' plug socket - Electric Ballroom or Brixton Electric?
— Jessica Bridgeman (@JessBridgeman) September 8, 2014
@foofighters Camden Electric Ballroom? They seem to have a clear calendar for this week. ;-)

Foo Fighters tease a possible(?) secret gig, probably London(?). Dingwalls' again? Off to Camden if it is; eyes open people. #FooFighters

As pressure and anticipation grow, fans start to get frustrated and a little hysterical:
I will probably cry if I don't get to see the @foofighters.

@foofighters please please play London on Wednesday or I'll be heart broken. Otherwise, please come and play a gig on my tube train.

I'd sell one of my kidneys for a @foofighters ticket. TICKET DETAILS, PLEASE.

Let's just hope Dave Grohl and co reveal the secret locations soon until it gets too intense.
