RTÉ2 has announced that Foo Fighters' Other Voices performance from St James's Church in Daingean Uí Chúis will air on RTÉ2 on Easter Monday, 6 April, at 9:30pm and will be available worldwide on RTÉ Player.

The hour-long episode, which was recorded on Sunday, 22 February, features tracks from Foo Fighters' upcoming album, Your Favorite Toy, alongside fan-favourites such as My Hero, Everlong, and Times Like These, as well as the deep cut A320, which had its first live outing since 2000 on the night.

"The performance was filmed last month as a secret, one-night-only show for just 80 fans to celebrate the forthcoming release of their new album," said RTÉ2.

"This special programme brings one of the world's biggest rock bands to one of Ireland's most beloved musical stages."

The set kicks off Other Voices' 25th anniversary celebrations.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said: "We have always had such a great time in Ireland.

"We have never done something like this before.

"We have played small shows to intimate audiences, but this is our first church.

"What we know of Other Voices is that it is something very special, and also the town of Dingle is a really special place."

Other Voices founder Philip King said: "It was a real privilege and delight to welcome Foo Fighters and their magnificent crew to The Church of St James in Dingle.

"It was a brilliant, moving, and passionate performance. It was a wonderful musical gift; it was the smallest stadium gig in the world.

"This was a singular moment in the history and story of Other Voices, and a truly unforgettable way to herald this significant anniversary year, celebrating 25 years of the show."

Executive Producer for RTÉ Justin Healy said: "It is incredible that Foo Fighters choose Dingle, Other Voices, and RTÉ as the home for this very special intimate, but incredibly loud performance.

"Our audience are in for a treat across the hour of iconic hits and new material, all performed live from the Church of St James in Dingle.

"It has been a hard secret to keep, but now it is so exciting not only to bring this to an Irish audience, but globally to fans via RTÉ Player."

Foo Fighters followed their Other Voices show with a gig at Dublin's Academy on Monday, 23 February.

Your Favorite Toy is released on Friday, 24 April.
