Glastonbury fever is in the air and one of the festival's headliners - Foo Fighters - has conveniently dropped big news about their next album.

The band have announced that their new album, called Concrete And Gold, will be released on September 15. The album will be their ninth studio record and first since keyboardist Rami Jaffee was confirmed as permanent band member following his years of touring with the group.

Dave Grohl said in a statement: "I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever. To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement… Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper… or something like that.”

Well that's one way of piling pressure on yourself, isn't it? Greg Kurstin mentioned above is P!nk and Adele's long-time producer and is now working with the Foos for the first time.

Wait, they now have six members??? Thought the new guy would just be a fifth guitarist or something. Anyway, hope the rest of the singles are better than Run...
