Update: Foo Fighters Announce Fourth of July ‘D.C. Jam’ At FedEx Field
Elliot C. Williams

Update 3/3/2020: Twenty-five years after their debut album released, the Foo Fighters are bringing a full-fledged music festival to FedEx Field on the Fourth of July. Announced Tuesday, the event is called D.C. Jam (though, it’s technically in Landover, Maryland) and features a full day and night of performances, rides, and a BBQ competition.

The guest list includes country star Chris Stapleton, iconic all-women punk band the Go-Go’s, and Grammy-winning mega-producer Pharrell. Also on the lineup: Band of Horses, Durand Jones & the Indications, the Regrettes, Beach Bunny, and Radkey.

The festival comes two years after the Foo Fighters-hosted Cal Jam in San Bernadino, and five years after the band’s last Fourth of July fest at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6.

Original: It’s times like these you learn to love Dave Grohl again.

The Foo Fighters, the rock band founded by the Northern Virginia legend and former Nirvana drummer, last weekend posted a mysterious red-white-and-blue GIF on social media, decked in stars. “D.C. JAM,” read the GIF, underscored by a caption that simply said “COMING SOON.”

We’re going to need more info, Dave.

I’d guess that there is some connection to 2020 mojo for Democrats.
