Foo Fighters' Other Voices performance to air on RT this Easter Monday

Other Voices presents a legendary night of music as Foo Fighters bring their stadium anthems to St James' Church, An Daingean. The surprise performance teases the band's forthcoming album Your Favourite Toy, ahead of its release on 24 April. The unforgettable show will air on Easter Monday, 6 April, on RT 2 at 9:30pm and will be available worldwide on RT Player.

Captured in the intimate and storied setting of St James' Church, the performance was filmed last month as a secret, one-night-only show for just 80 fans to celebrate the forthcoming release of their new album. This special programme brings one of the world's biggest rock bands to one of Ireland's most beloved musical stages.

The peerless purveyors of rock and roll kicked off the Other Voices 25th anniversary celebrations, as the series continues to capture world-class artists in uniquely intimate spaces. With a career spanning decades and a catalogue of indelible anthems that helped shape modern rock, Foo Fighters deliver a visceral, stadium-worthy performance in their smallest show in decades for an audience of just 80 fans, paying tribute to the grassroots DIY community culture they came from.

Other Voices Founder Philip King said:

It was a real privilege and delight to welcome Foo Fighters and their magnificent crew to The Church Of St James in Dingle. It was a brilliant, moving and passionate performance. It was a wonderful musical gift; it was the smallest stadium gig in the world. This was a singular moment in the history and story of Other Voices, and a truly unforgettable way to herald this significant anniversary year, celebrating 25 years of the show.

Executive Producer for RT Justin Healy said:

It is incredible that Foo Fighters choose Dingle, Other Voices and RT as the home for this very special intimate, but incredibly loud performance. Our audience are in for a treat across the hour of iconic hits and new material all performed live from the Church of St James in Dingle. It has been a hard secret to keep, but now it is so exciting not only to bring this to an Irish audience, but globally to fans via RT Player.

This exclusive one-hour episode features exhilarating new tracks from the band's upcoming 12th studio album Your Favourite Toy, alongside fan favourites including My Hero, Everlong and Times Like These as well as deepcut A320, which had its first live outing since 2000. The career-spanning setlist brings together beloved anthems and brand-new material in a once-in-a-lifetime setting.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said:

We have always had such a great time in Ireland. We have never done something like this before. We have played small shows to intimate audiences, but this is our first church. What we know of Other Voices is that it is something very special and also the town of Dingle is a really special place.

Other Voices Presents: Foo Fighters Live in St James' Church airs on RT 2 at 9.30pm on Easter Monday, 6 April, and will be available to stream worldwide on RT Player.
