The Foo Fighters have signed on for a headlining set at this year's upcoming Austin City Limits Festival. This year's event will bring over 140 acts to Austin, Texas' Zilker Park and is set to kick off over two weekends - October 2-4 and October 9-11.
This year the Foos join an impressive lineup of fellow artists set to take the stage including Strokes, Florence + the Machine, Drake, the Weeknd, Disclosure and Deadmau5. Austin is near and dear to Dave Grohl's heart, as he recently visited the city for his Sonic Highways series.
"I think the message in the Austin episode is that we have to be careful that we don't overlook the reasons why people are drawn to these cities," he said. "There's something about Austin and its alternative culture that's an oasis in the middle of this country that attracted people to it in the first place. The personality and the fingerprint of this city is unlike anywhere else. The preservation of that needs to be a priority because if you're not careful, that could be wiped away and you're just left with a strip mall."
