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.
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.
