All they need to do is pick up the phone, Dave Grohl believes, if Glastonbury’s organisers want his band the Foo Fighters to headline the festival for the first time.

“I mean, it’s an iconic festival,” the frontman told NME. “I just tell everyone if they need a band, we’re pretty good. They should give us a call. See what happens.”

Michael Eavis has suggested the main headliners for next year are already signed, sealed and delivered, though their identities remain a mystery to the rest of us despite the event selling out in record time.

Meanwhile, Foo Fighters have unveiled the details of a US stadium gig at Washington D.C’s RFK Stadium on July 4th, 2015 to mark their 20th anniversary. Buddy Guy, Gary Clark Jr., Heart, Joan Jett, LL Cool J and Trouble Funk are also on the bill.

The gig will be a stark reminder of just how far the band have come in those two decades; from the humble origins of 1995’s debut album, which essentially showcased a Dave Grohl post-Nirvana solo project, to the transcontinental, guest-laden affair of ‘Sonic Highways‘, due out next week.
