Foo Fighters are to headline Belgium's biggest rock festival Rock Werchter which takes place over new dates from Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th June held in the small village of Werchter in Rotselaar, Belgium.

Foo Fighters will headline the festival on Thursday 25 June 2015. A statement from the organisers says, "Foo Fighters are coming by general demand. Every year we collect the wish lists from the friends of the festival and this year Foo Fighters are right at the top. To be sure of landing the band of the moment Rock Werchter is moving its dates forward a week.

"This is because the band is heading back to the States at the end of June to play a huge concert in front man Dave Grohl's home base of Washington D.C. on Saturday 4 July.

"In 2015 Foo Fighters will play Werchter for the third time in their 20 year history. They made their last appearance way back in 2005. Put together in eight iconic recording studios, the new album ‘Sonic Highways’ (2014) is Grohl’s homage to the rich musical history of America, of which Foo Fighters are a fine example."

More names are to be announced soon. Tickets go on sale on Saturday 29th November and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
