Shockwaves NME Awards 2011 - Big Gig at Wembley Arena in London - February 25, 2011

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl confirmed in a new interview with NME that there will be a second season of the band’s HBO documentary series, Sonic Highways.

GROHL says…

Grohl revealed, “There is gonna be another Sonic Highways season. It might or might not be international. It might someday be international. It might only be England, or England and other places. Or maybe it’s places in America, and people from other countries that are inspired by these places in America.”

The first season of Sonic Highways, which was directed by Grohl and aired last fall, followed the band to eight different iconic recording studios in eight different American cities, with each episode exploring the history of the studio and local scene.

The Foos recorded one song in each studio, resulting in the Sonic Highways album.

Grohl told NME that the great thing about the Sonic Highways concept is that “it can be anywhere, because any city has some sort of musical history,” citing the U.K. as one especially rich region in rock history.

Foo Fighters will kick off a massive North America tour in Washington D.C. on July 4th, the 20th anniversary of the release of the first Foo Fighters album.
