Foo Fighters will host Radio Nova show to explore the creative process behind Medicine At Midnight

Foo Fighters will host Radio Nova show to explore the creative process behind <em>Medicine At Midnight</em>

'Foo Fighters Radio' will be available to listeners across Ireland on Nova's FM and digital platforms.

Hot on the heels of their tenth album release and a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination, Foo Fighters’ will host a special six-part series on Radio Nova, titled 'Foo Fighters Radio'.

Starting on Saturday February 27th at 6pm (repeated Sunday night at 9pm) on the station.

During the series, Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee will independently explore their personal inspirations, spotlight influential artists and play some of the rock band's biggest hits.

In each episode, the band members will chat to their rock star friends and reflect on the creative process behind the new album Medicine At Midnight.

Dave Grohl and the Foos are eager to connect with Irish fans and said, “We’re going to listen to some music. I’ll tell you some stories...play you some songs that inspired me when I was young...kind of take you from the beginning all the way up to today.”

In the first show, drummer Taylor Hawkins takes us inside the "Hawkes Nest” with guests Dave Navarro and Chris Chaney from Jane’s Addiction.

Taylor also plays hits from Pink Floyd, Alanis Morrisette, The Police and ELO.

“We thought having Bruce Springsteen host his own show was a coup, but Radio Nova has now become THE place the world’s biggest artists come to take over the Irish airwaves," Radio Nova CEO, Kevin Branigan said.

"This is one hell of a radio show, full of huge hits and will give the Foo fans a chance hear all about the band’s career directly from the members themselves.”

Catch 'Foo Fighters Radio' Saturday nights at 6pm and Sunday nights at 9pm starting on February 27th - only on Radio Nova.
