The Foo Fighters planned to follow their international tour with a North American tour to promote Sonic Highways , beginning with a special Fourth of July event in Washington, D.C. , that would commemorate the band’s 20th anniversary. The all-day event was to be held at Washington’s RFK Stadium featuring performances by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts , Heart , LL Cool J , Gary Clark Jr. , and Buddy Guy . Dave Grohl’s injury initially led to speculation that the band would drop out of the event but they later confirmed they would perform; however, the injury did prevent them from headlining the 2015 Glastonbury Festival . The band performed for 48,000 people with Grohl in a custom-built moving throne which he claimed to have designed himself while on painkillers.
