Event: Foo Fighters Sonic Highways: Live From The Cubby Bear

Foo Fighters Cubby Bear

Friday, October 17th. Chicago. The Cubby Bear… BE THERE!

Possibly the coolest bit of news we’ve heard today was the announcement that the premiere of the new HBO series Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways will be celebrating its premiere with a viewing party in Chicago and it’s also bringing the band with them to keep the festivities going.

Dave Grohl & co. will take the stage at Chicago’s The Cubby Bear at midnight (EST) on Friday, October 17 immediately following a screening of the premiere episode. The show will feature the first ever in-concert performance of the new single “Something from Nothing” from the band’s forthcoming album, also titled Sonic Highways (out November 10 on Roswell/RCA).

HBO will collaborate with Facebook to present “Foo Fighters Sonic Highways: Live from The Cubby Bear,” a live stream of the Foo Fighters premiere party concert, which will be made available to fans in the U.S. on the HBO Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hbo.

Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways is an unprecedented eight-part documentary series that chronicles the making of the band’s eighth studio album, for which the band took to eight different cities in the US and recorded a song in each stop.

The premiere episode takes place in Chicago and prominently features The Cubby Bear, a small club with huge personal significance to Grohl, who saw his first punk rock show at the venue – an event that set him on his life’s path.

Fans, purchase your tickets online at http://itsh.bo/FFChicago beginning Wednesday, October 15 at 10:00am (CST). A two-ticket limit per customer will be strictly enforced and attendees must be 21+. All tickets will be held at will-call and are non-transferable. Ticket holders and their guests must check in at the same time, present government-issued photo ID and immediately enter the venue. Doors open at 8:30pm (CST).

For fans who won’t have the opportunity to attend or catch the live stream of the concert, an archived version of the event will be made available on certain HBO platforms at a later date.

Either way you want to see this, it is a can’t-miss show!
