We’re getting the first parts of the lineup for what the Foo Fighters are calling an “all-star tribute” to their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
Among the artists that will be playing the Los Angeles version of the concert on September 27th with the Foo Fighters will be Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age), Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson (Rush), Stewart Copeland (The Police), Joan Jett, Miley Cyrus, Gene Simmons (KISS), Chad Smith (Nickelback), as well as Alanis Morisette and Chris Chaney, whom he played with before joining the band.
There is also a U.K. version of the show that month with a completely separate lineup. Tickets for both shows go on sale June 17th.
