Down In The Park: Foo Fighters seek out Hyde show
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver February 6th, 2006

Increasingly less-rocking four-piece the Foo Fighters are to play a mammoth Kerrang-sponsored show this summer in the grassy heart of the nation's capital.

Nicest Man In Rock Dave Grohl and friends will take to the Hyde Park stage on the evening of June 17th. The show's a one-off event, so don't go crossing any fingers or toes for regional dates, y'all. Besides, do you really want to hear any of that In Your Honor bullcrap?

Tickets for the mega-sized show go on sale on Saturday (11th February) at 9am. Dunno how much they cost. We guess a lot.

DiScuss: You see, the title's a reference to the Gary Numan song, 'Down In The Park', which the Foo Fighters covered for a b-side one time way back when. It's not a nod to 'Hey Johnny Park', from the band's second album, The Colour And The Shape. Oh no no no, not at all...
