Awesome news for UK fans of Dave Grohl and co - with 53 days still to go, the Kickstarter campaign to get Foo Fighters to perform in Birmingham has reached its £150,000 target.
Earlier this year, Foo Fighters declared that gigs arranged and paid for at the request of fans were 'the future' of music - so they agreed to play gig in Richmond, Virginia following an online campaign by Andrew Goldin and friends.
"I'm telling you, it could become the way that bands decide where they want to play," tg=he frontman told Rolling Stone about crowdfunded gigs. "It’s a fun thing; it sort of changes the game. For the past 20 years we always decided who we're going to play with and where we're going to play. But now, if we hear that people want us to come somewhere, maybe we'll come there."
Now, a Kickstarter campaign to bring the band to Birmingham is running at full steam - having already reached its target with 53 days to go.
All of the hypothetical tickets available on the site have now gone, but fans are still able to pledge their support if they can't make it to the concert. Every penny that the project raises will go back into it.
