"You know what I did last night? I recorded a f****** song in your beautiful city of Austin, Texas," Dave Grohl said during the Foos' ACL set. "And I'm just gonna say it now, we recorded five f****** new songs in your beautiful city of Austin, Texas."
Grohl made the announcement before playing the song "Big Me," alongside Texas singer-songwriter Ben Kweller. Grohl also revealed Kweller contributed vocal harmonies to one of the songs he recorded. You can watch fan-shot footage of the announcement and performance now on YouTube.
Foo Fighters' last album was 2014's Sonic Highways, which was accompanied by an eight-episode HBO series of the same name.
