On the eve of the announcement that the Foo Fighters will play two nights at Milton Keynes Bowl next July Dave Grohl gave the O2 Evening Show a ring to chat all about the next about and what fans can expect in 2011:

STEVE HARRIS CHATS TO DAVE GROHL

The MK shows on July 2 and 3 will be the band's first in the UK for three years.

Mr Grohl said fans can expect all of the hits: "I know that when we get out there, in front of 60 -70 thousand people, it is my intention to play to get every single one of those people to sing every single one of those songs"

Biffy Clyro will play both dates and Dave told Steve he's a big fan: "They're a fantastic band, we actually did a bunch of shows with them recently when I was with the Vultures and they are amazing, they are a force to be reckoned with - that's a real deal band. I can't wait to play with them, it'll be great."

Also supporting Dave Grohl and his crew will be Death Cab For Cutie and Tame Impala on July 2, and Jimmy Eat World and The Hot Rats on July 3.  Legendary Husker Du and Sugar man Bob Mould has been confirmed as special guest DJ for both days.
