Foo Fighters will play their first U.S. concert of the year on Tuesday, March 5, in Washington, D.C., and it’s for a good cause. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will headline the 2024 Power to the Patients Concert, a private event that seeks to promote fair and affordable prices for healthcare.

“When we were asked by Power to the Patients to help raise awareness of the need for transparency in healthcare pricing, we immediately said yes,” Foo Fighters said in a joint statement. “People suffering from illness and injury shouldn’t have to worry about being bankrupted by surprise charges for their treatment.”

The intimate concert will be attended by an audience that will include lawmakers, government officials, and members of their staff. Hip-hop legends Chuck D and Fat Joe also will be in attendance at the show.
