The Foo Fighters say they'll be playing an upcoming show in Richmond, Virginia. But this isn't your average concert. This show was completely organized and funded by fans.
It all began a couple months ago when Richmond Foo Fighters fans began brainstorming ways to bring the band to town. (Via YouTube / Foo Fighters)
The fans, headed up by self-proclaimed megafan Andrew Goldin, launched a Crowdhoster site with the goal of selling out a Foo Fighters concert that didn't yet exist. (Via Foo Fighters Richmond)
The group also took to social media, posting this video on YouTube. (Via YouTube / Andrew Goldin)
