An online fundraising campaign to bring the Foo Fighters to Cornwall has already raised over £68,000.

Started by Cornwall based Angela Young and James Warner of Warner Young Management, the Crowdfunder campaign needs to raise a minimum of £150,000.

They said; "We want to bring the Foo Fighters to Cornwall, and show the world what an awesome location this is to host one of the biggest bands in the world.

"Cornwall has an exciting and thriving music scene and now it is time to bring in the big names that we deserve to have visit. The Foo Fighters are the band that everyone wants to see, and we believe now is the time to get them here.

Fans in the US have successfully pulled the Foo Fighters in to gigs using crowdfunding and Dave Grohl has publicly spoken in favour of it, saying: "I'm telling you, it could become the way that bands decide where they want to play. It's a fun thing; it sort of changes the game. For the past 20 years we always decided who we're going to play with and where we're going to play. But now, if we hear that people want us to come somewhere, maybe we'll come there."

Organisers of the Crowdfunder campaign admit they do not know the date or venue for this gig at this stage, however they say that The Foo Fighter’s management are aware of this campaign and if or when it is successful they will begin negotiations for a date in their schedule, aiming for a date on the 2015 tour or in 2016.

If no date has been set by February 28, 2015 the cash pledges will not be collected.
