UK Foo Fighters (Foo Fighters Tribute), 30 November 2024

UK Foo Fighters originated from a Harrogate covers band called Speedsta that gained popularity between 2004 and 2007, playing tracks from bands such as Nirvana, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The White Stripes, QOTSA and Stereophonics. The covers of Foo Fighters resonated with audiences and eventually attracted the attention of local promoters and festival organisers. The first ticketed show as a tribute band to Foo Fighters was at a small nightclub called Daddy Cools in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. After a period of playing local gigs and festivals from 2007 to 2012, the band was invited to tour further afield in 2013 at various O2 Academy venues throughout the UK, owned and operated by the Academy Music Group.
