Foo Fighters Headline Pre-Super Bowl Concert At Atlantic Station

ATLANTA, GA – The Foo Fighters will perform at this year’s DIRECTV Super Saturday Night on Feb. 2 at Atlantic Station in Midtown the night before the Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Tickets go on sale to the public on Nov. 30 at 9 a.m. ET through Ticketmaster.com. A custom, 3-tiered, 72,000 square-foot venue will be constructed at Atlantic Station. The venue concept was envisioned by long-time producer Jack Murphy.

In the 23 years since the 1995 release of their self-titled debut, Foo Fighters have won 12 Grammy Awards, sold 25 million records and continue to pack arenas and stadiums the world over. The band’s 9th and most recent album, “Concrete and Gold,” was released in September 2017, debuting at No. 1 in more than a dozen countries, including the U.S., the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Greece, Japan and the Netherlands. The album’s arrival was heralded by the surprise release of the Billboard Mainstream Rock No. 1 smash summer anthem of 2017, “Run,” which took “Best Rock Song” honors at this year’s Grammy Awards.

The Atlantic Station venue, built from the ground up, and the event will employ more than 200 seasonal labor, staffing, servers and security. Murphy and AT&T teamed up with several local vendors, hotels and restaurants from the local Atlanta community to create an unforgettable experience.

All general admission tickets will be standing-room only, floor level.
