HBO’s new eight-part documentary ‘Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways’ premieres on the network tomorrow night at 11:00pm EST. The series – directed by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl – will explore America’s rich music history, taking viewers to different cities across the country.
Immediately following the premiere, the Foo Fighters will perform at Chicago’s ‘The Cubby Bear’ and the concert will be streamed live on the HBO Facebook page. For Facebook users without HBO access, tomorrow night is your night, as the concert will be only be available afterwards on HBO platforms.
This announcement was made a day before HBO CEO Richard Plepler said that the premium cable network would begin offering a stand-alone streaming service in 2015. Both announcements demonstrate how ambitious the network is in a continuously crowding content space.
