The Foo Fighters are a post-grunge rock band formed in 1994 by Dave Grohl following the disbanding of Nirvana amid the death of frontman and lead vocalist Kurt Cobain. Prior to starting the Foo Fighters, Grohl was the drummer of Nirvana, but as a member of the Foo Fighters, he acts as lead singer, guitarist, and frontman. Over the last several decades, Grohl has led the Foo Fighters to international fame and stardom despite several shifts in the core members in the early years of the band. Not only have the Foo Fighters won over a dozen Grammys, they were also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during their first year of eligibility (2021).

After Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, Nirvana disbanded. Former Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl, started the Foo Fighters soon thereafter. Initially, Foo Fighters was a one-man band with Dave Grohl playing all of the instruments on his demo tape. While Grohl was unable to recruit former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic to join the Foo Fighters, he did successfully recruit Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, and guitarist Pat Smear. They performed together for the first time on February 23, 1995 at the Jambalaya Club in Arcata, California.

The Foo Fighters were formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1994 with three of the four founding members living along the West Coast. Only David Grohl was an outsider to the West, being a native of Warren, Ohio.

The name “Foo Fighters” comes from a World War II term for unidentified flying objects..

Dave Grohl came across the term while reading books about UFO sightings before he had recruited any other members to the band. Thinking the only way to attract fellow musicians was to give the impression that a band already existed. Because he liked the name "Foo Fighters," he used it as the name of the future band.

It is reported that the Foo Fighters make an average of $1 million per concert or show. This number, of course, can vary greatly depending on the particular venue and ticket prices. They are among the highest-earning bands in the world, and their concerts are typically very well-attended.

There is no strict dress code for a Foo Fighters concert, but most attendees dress comfortably in casual clothes. Many people wear t-shirts and jeans. You might see some people in band merchandise, but it is not required. Just be sure to wear something you can move and dance in! A comfortable pair of close-toed shoes is also a good idea.
