Two months back, the Foo Fighters announced that they were putting together a tribute concert for their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in collaboration with his family. The magnitude of the two events and their all-star lineups meant that accessibility would be limited, but an exciting new development has now been revealed — Paramount+ will be livestreaming both shows on their platforms!

London’s Wembley Stadium will host the first event on September 3, which will be broadcasted on Paramount+ in the United States, on Pluto TV internationally and on MTV’s YouTube channels. It will also be available on demand on Paramount+ following the concert, with streaming options subsequently available on Pluto TV and MTV on-demand.

The first event will feature performances from Liam Gallagher, Joshua Homme, Travis Barker, Chrissie Hyde, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Supergrass, Mark Ronson, Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and more. Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Blink-182’s Travis Barker, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Kesha and Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet have also been added to the lineup.

The second show will take place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on September 27. The latest additions to the lineup include Sebastian Bach, Travis Barker, Geezer Butler, Phil Collen, Joe Elliott, Josh Freese, Violet Grohl, Shane Hawkins, James Gang, Mark King and Lars Ulrich.

Proceeds from the September 3 concert will go to two charities chosen by the Hawkins family: Music Support and MusiCares.

“Music is a powerful connector and we are honored to commemorate Taylor Hawkins’ enduring legacy,” Paramount CEO Bob Bakish said about the concerts. “From our broad mix of platforms to the universal strength of our brands, Paramount is uniquely positioned to maximize the reach and impact of content worldwide, and we look forward to sharing this meaningful music experience with audiences across every touchpoint.” (Pitchfork)
