Foo Fighters' Wembley gig to be staged in the round

Foo Fighters' Wembley Stadium show on 7 June will be staged in the round, with a stage built in the middle of the stadium, David Grohl has told Radio 1.

More on that previously reported Foo Fighters gig at Wembley Stadium next year. The concert will take place on 7 Jun and will be in the round, which is a bit unusual. Chief Foo David Grohl explained: "When we were thinking about doing Wembley we were thinking it's so huge how do we make it feel like an intimate gig?. We are doing it in the round. We're going to build a stage in the middle of the stadium with ramps going in different directions. There won't be a bad seat in the house".

Talking to Radio 1, he added: "I believe the stage will probably rotate. I don't want to give away all the secrets but no matter where you're sitting you'll be in spitting distance from me". Which - even with innovative staging - seems unlikely, unless Foo Fighter fans are champion spitters.
