Foo Fighters and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are currently in a neck-and-neck race to reach the Number One spot on the UK album charts this week.Both acts released their latest LPs — ‘But Here We Are’ and ‘Council Skies’ — last Friday (June 2) and as it stands, it is too close to call which one will reach the peak position on the Official Album Chart by the end of this week.Currently at the midweek mark, Noel Gallagher has surpassed the American rockers and stands as the UK’s best-selling album with his fourth solo album with High Flying Birds. That being said, the two remain almost neck and neck, as just 200 units separate them from first and second position.The victory would no doubt mark an important milestone for Foo Fighters, as ‘But Here We Are’ marks their first full-length LP since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March last year.

Foo Fighters have shared a message which seems to suggest that they are the elusive secret band set to play Glastonbury 2023 as ‘The Churnups’.The band, who just released their acclaimed new album ‘But Here We Are‘, were one of several acts rumoured to be performing under the moniker The Churnups on the opening Friday of Glasto, with Pulp also tipped to be making a surprise appearance.The full Glastonbury 2023 line-up and stage times detailed that The Churnups would be performing at 6.15pm on the Friday of the festival, playing on the Pyramid Stage before Royal Blood and a headline set from Arctic Monkeys.Now however, Glasto-goers widely believe Dave Grohl and co to be the band in question, due to the wording of a new message from the frontman in which he mentions “churning up” emotions.“Hey, it’s been a while,” his message on social media began. “Now that we’ve returned  from our first run of shows, I felt compelled to reach out and thank you all for being there for us.“Every night, when I see you singing, it makes me sing harder.

The tour will take place in stadiums across the country, with performances in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane from November to December this year. 

Foo Fighters have expanded their world tour with new dates in Australia and New Zealand, set to take place over the end of 2023 and start of 2024.The tour, announced today (June 5), will commence on November 29 in Perth before taking the band to Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane throughout December, followed by Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington the following month.
