The track “Unconditional” has never been heard before
Last night in Manchester, Foo Fighters kicked off their Everything or Nothing at All Tour at Emirates Old Trafford. The set was jam-packed with hits like “Learn to Fly,” Monkey Wrench,” “The Pretender,” “These Days,” and more. They also pulled out the There Is Nothing Left to Lose rarity “Stacked Actors” for the first time since 2010. Perhaps the night’s biggest moment, though, was the debut of a never-before-heard song – “Unconditional.”
A representative of the band told Consequence that the track was “partially written and demo’d during home studio sessions years ago – but ultimately left unfinished.”
Check out the fan filmed footage of the all-new “Unconditional” below.
Foo Fighters’ current UK tour wraps up on 27 June at Villa Park in Birmingham. Special guests for the shows are Loose Articles, Courtney Barnett, Honeyblood, Shame, Himalayas, Hot Milk, and GRAMMY® Award winners Wet Leg on select dates. Foo Fighters’ newest LP debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, and the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart.
Next month, Foo Fighters will be embarking on a full United States tour. It is a full, proper tour, after sporadically performing across North America throughout 2023. The run begins with back-to-back shows at Citi Field in New York on July 17 and July 18, and wraps up on August 18 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, where frontman Dave Grohl’s old house recently hit the market. Before that, though, the group has added a few North American shows in May.
Foo Fighters’ new album, But Here We Are, arrived last June. The album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and topped Billboard’s Rock and Alternative Albums charts. It marked the band’s first release without late drummer Taylor Hawkins since he joined the band for 1999’s There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Dave Grohl recorded all the drums on But Here We Are.
The album garnered the band three 2024 GRAMMY® Award nominations. The LP But Here We Are was up for Best Rock Album, while the record’s lead single “Rescued” was in the running for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. Metallica and Arctic Monkeys also grabbed three nods each.
Last May 21, Foo Fighters confirmed new drummer Josh Freese. On May 24, 2023, Foo Fighters made their return to the stage at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire. Over Memorial Day Weekend, the band perform at Boston Calling and Sonic Temple. On May 30, they played an exclusive club show opening the all-new Atlantic in Washington, D.C.
In 2021, Foo Fighters released their last album Medicine at Midnight – their final outing with Hawkins. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and took the top spot in several other countries. The album garnered the band three GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Rock Song (“Waiting on a War”), Best Rock Performance (“Making a Fire”), and Best Rock Album.
