Foo Fighters 'unable to perform' in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Foo Fighters announced Tuesday the band will not be performing at Huntington Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus in August 2022 as scheduled due to the venue not agreeing to the band’s COVID-19 safety measures.

The Foo Fighters ask all attendees to show proof of full vaccination against or a negative test result within 48 hours of their shows. 

"Due to Huntington Bank Stadium’s refusal to agree to the band’s COVID safety measures, Foo Fighters are unable to perform at that venue," the band said in a statement. "We apologize for any inconvenience and are working on finding a suitable replacement – one that will prioritize the health and safety of everyone working and attending the show."

Minnesota health officials: No omicron found here -- yet
