Foo Fighters In Naples?

[Andry254]

Hello everyone.

I know this is my first post ever on a fan forum of Foo Fighters so i'm also going to introduce myself a little.
I'm Andrea, i'm 25 y/o and i'm from Naples, Italy.

I'm a huge fan of foo fighters and my favorite album is still wasting lights.

Let's get to the reason that brought me here : Foo fighters never made a live in the south part of Italy, where i actually live and also a big part of the italian fan base ( i estimated around 1 million fans atleast ) never had the pleasure to hear them playing " near " their home.
So, googling around i found out that in the past they accepted gigs funded trough crowdfunding systems.

Do you think is that still possible?

I think i've got what's necessary to make an event big enough in Naples but i first wanted to have a discussion about this cuz i didn't even know that there was a foo fighter's forum still active and you guys could sure help me out just by discussing.

Thanks in advance for the help, i must say that an hard part could be also to get in touch with the management ( that didn't answer me in the past but probably it was the wrong time to ask anything ) , discuss/knowing the cachet and their availability.

I don't think they've done crowdfunded events.

I'm a pessimist so I'd say your chances are slim, but hey, your country got them to visit with the Rockin 1000, so you never know. You would need to start organizing fans, finding a smart way to get Dave's attention, and just hope for the best.

PS - Welcome to the board!

The Richmond show in 2014 was the result of a crowdfund campaign.

But Im not sure it would work again - there was a campaign in the UK a few years ago which went nowhere.

But you never know - if you organize something fantastic then there is always a chance!

Oh that's right! Totally forgot about that.

If you manage to round up another 999 people (who can play guitar or drums) and video a cover of a Foo song that goes viral on YouTube, then you might be in with a chance

Nah, I'm thinking Dave goes for original content.

1000 rockers gig - done and on to the next one
crowdfunded gig - done and on to the next one
Andry254's massive original idea - soon!

[Andry254]

So you actually think it would be better to get a creative idea to attract attention rather than have like the pledges of 40k people who wants to see them performing live in Naples?

I would say that i need both but still need to know which one should be the one to start from !

O impossível é só questão de opinião .. Se vocês se organizarem e clamarem por este show,com certeza ganharão a atenção dos Dois.. Façam algo inédito...com certeza ganharão a atenção deles.
Boa sorte
