Foo Fighters have announced the full lineup for the special tribute concert for the band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins.
Taking place at Wembley Stadium on September 3, the show will see the likes of Liam Gallagher, Brian May, Mark Ronson, and more.
With icons from the world of rock music all set to make an appearance including Chrissie Hynde, Supergrass, former The Police drummer Stewart Copeland, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney.
Plus, there will be more appearances from Queens Of The Stone Age star Josh Homme, Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang, producer and jazz drummer Omar Hakim, and Rush singer Geddy Lee.
The tribute concert will also see one of the biggest drummers in the world grace the stage with Queen drummer Roger Taylor also alongside his son Rufus, who plays drums with The Darkness.
American comedian Dave Chappelle will also appear as a special guest.
A statement from Foo Fighters said more acts will be announced for the tribute show, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 3 and is being organised in collaboration with Hawkins’ family.
The concert is set to be the band's first since Hawkins was found dead aged 50 in his hotel room in Colombia in March.
Hawkins had played in the band fronted by former Nirvana drummer turned lead singer Dave Grohl for more than two decades.
He joined Foo Fighters in 1997 after previously touring with Alanis Morrissette. Hawkins also starred with the band in their recently released film, Studio 666.
Following his death in March, the band cancelled their forthcoming tour dates as well as a planned performance at the Grammys.
London! Please welcome the first wave of special guests to join The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts! More to be announced soon.
