Foo Fighters Live Debut Previously Unheard Demo “Unconditional” During Manchester Show

According to NME, the legendary grunge icons, The Foo Fighters, have debuted new demo titled “Unconditional,” live, during a show in Manchester. The Manchester debut was during their opening show for their UK tour. The tour is through June 2024, stopping in Manchester, Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Birmingham.  

The setlist for the Manchester show was teased to be a shuffle of the Foo Fighters usual. To fans’ joy, the previously unheard, “Unconditional,” was featured. To The Consequence of Sound, the band stated that the song was, “partially written and demo’d during home studio sessions years ago — but ultimately left unfinished.” Additionally saying, “The band’s rediscovery of ‘Unconditional’ happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion: The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through — The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way – live.” Thankfully captured by those who attended the show, fans await the official release of the demo. 

The show featured additional hits such as “The Pretender” and “Learn to Fly,” as well as hits from their most recent 2023 album But Here We Are, “Rescued,” “Under You,” etc. The diverse take of the bands legendary discography demonstrates the range and success of the band. The Foo Fighters have also recently announced they will be featured at the Soundside Festival at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut, this September.
