A DOCUMENTARY chronicling the 16-year history of the rock band, the Foo Fighters is to be screened in the region this week.
Foo Fighters Back and Forth is being shown at more than 200 cinemas across Europe on Thursday night.
Oscar and Emmy winner James Moll produced and directed the documentary film which culminates with the making of the new album, Wasting Light.
The new record also marks the Foos' first full-length effort with legendary producer Butch Vig, with whom Grohl worked on Nirvana's classic album Nevermind. Former Nirvana member Krist Novoselic will also return along with other surprise guest artists.
At the end of the documentary the band will play the new album in its entirety.
Fans can see the film at the Empire Newcastle or Showcase Cinemas Teesside at 8pm.
