Dave Grohl looks up at Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins at one of their last shows in February [๐ท : Megan Mendoza/USA TODAY NETWORK]
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.
Los Angeles! Please welcome the first wave of special guests to join The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts! More to be announced soon.
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.
As for Taylor Hawkins’ all-time favorite Foo Fighters song? Turns out he didn’t even play on it originally — but check him out on Letterman playing “This Is A Call.”

PAWS Chicago is celebrating their 25th Anniversary with an inauguralย ‘PAWS Giving Day’ TODAY! When you make your promise to honor homeless pets by donating, you’re advocating for animals that can’t speak for themselves and helping them to find safe, loving homes. I nominate, YOU! -Aliย ย
The place that Chicagoans love for a quick bite is- Portillo’s! Started in Villa Park in 1963, they’re known for their dogs, Italian beef, and cake shakes. In 2005 they spread their wings and opened up several places in other states like California and Wisconsin. The survey was done by Bid-On-Equipment. They looked at the top 20 highest rated and top 20 most reviewed restaurants on Yelp for each city.
Monday’s storm that ripped through Chicago caused all kinds of havoc. The ‘supercell’ had reported wind gusts of 84 mph at O’Hare and caused millions in damage. Now see it from a different perspective, space!

There are some jobs that you might expect this from, but chiropractor doesn’t come to mind right away. Watch this guy completely keep his cool after his client does this!!!
Mae Richardson Elementary School in Central Point, Oregon bought 6,877 cereal boxes to donate to local shelters. It was part of their Community 101 class, but first, they needed to do something else- break a record. The World Record for cereal dominoes is 6, 391. Unfortunately, because of time constraints they couldn’t get Guinness out there ‘officially’ so you’ll just have to know that this is the true world record!
Two adorable brothers googled “how to get a girlfriend” and this is what they came up with… it’s hard to not fall in love with these two guys. Watch them explain what they’ve learned…
A guy was tired of paying for expensive shoes every month or so, so he found a loop hole… get them tattooed on for life. He got his favorite pair of Nike’s, drawn on his feet for the rest of his life. Something tells me this had to hurt…
A dog got too close to the stove top and accidentally lit the whole house on fire! A reminder to clean after you make food, especially if you have a big doggie… watch!
In their World Cup qualifying game against Peru, Australia was nervous going into a shoot out. But their goalie Andrew Redmayne, or the ‘dancing goalie’ wasn’t. He has his own way of getting rid of the jitters and performing. Instead of being a sitting duck on the line, he moves about to try to already be on his toes for the ball. Watch him save the game!
PIQNIQ is Saturday and your schedule is here! The weather forecast looks amazing and tickets still available starting at $20 here. Can’t wait to see you! <3 Lauren
Naked and Afraid is the show where people are dumped into the middle of nowhere in the elements with a few items of their choosing and then expected to survive for days on end. Most people dip out immediately once they get hungry or mosquitoes take over their body. Don’t they know that the net the and the machete are musts?! In any event, here is how much they get paid to do the show and show off their survival abilities-
Aer you the kind of person that gets parking tickets? Well you better be more careful because parking cops aren’t just using the boot anymore, they’ve moved on to something more annoying- “The Barnacle.” It sticks to your windshield and suctions to the glass with a keypad. It has an alarm and a tracking system, so they know if you’re trying to get away! It’s the type of thing that you’ll only get if you have A LOT of parking tickets. And there is an upside, instead of waiting for an entire day for someone to come and remove the boot, you just have to call, pay your fees, and they will type in a code to unlock the barnacle in minutes. Fine. I’ll pay my tickets!
