The Van Tour to revisit stops along 1995 trek
The Foo Fighters are celebrating their silver anniversary with the 2020 Van Tour, where they’ll revisit some of the same cities on their first trek in 1995. Beginning April 12th at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix AZ, the Foo Fighters’ 2020 Van Tour will hit a number of the same spots that Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel and Pat Smear trailblazed in a Dodge van all those years ago — in arenas this time, because aside from many of those clubs on that 1995 trek having since ceased to exist, squeezing a 2020 Foo Fighters show into the few that are still around would just be too insane…
In addition to customary all-night rock n roll marathons from 1995 Van Tour veterans Grohl, Mendel and Smear and their longtime comrades Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee, each and every 2020 Van Tour show will feature a very special opening attraction: A sneak peek at an excerpt from Dave Grohl’s brand new documentary What Drives Us. Foo Fighters’ 2020 Van Tour will feature a short preview from Grohl’s deep dive into what possesses a particular tribe of human beings to leave behind jobs, families, relationships and any semblance of sanity to climb into a busted ass econoline and take their music to the people — or at least a dozen or so of them here and there. What Drives Us explores motivations, recounts personal anecdotes, and explores the physical and psychological toll of touring in vans via interviews with members of van tour veteran bands ranging from Black Flag and Dead Kennedys to Metallica and The Beatles, and many, many more.
