Watch Foo Fighters’ acoustic set from LA’s The Troubadour for #SaveOurStages festival - NME

Foo Fighters have performed a set for the #SaveOurStages (#SOS) campaign, which aims to preserve US grassroots music venues affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s not the first time the band has stepped in to support the National Independent Venue Association’s #SaveOurStages campaign.

Proceeds from the sales of the shirts went towards #SaveOurVenues (from UK sales) and #SaveOurStages (from US sales).

The National Independent Venue Association is spearheading efforts to get the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act passed, which would create a $10billion (£7.8billion) small business association fund to help those small venues that are struggling or being threatened with closure due to the effects of the pandemic.

In related news, LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy last month joined the fight to save independent music venues in the US, saying that supporting the act “is the least we can do as a group of people who take care of our own”.
