A Foo Fighters spokesman told NME: “Dave Grohl is a huge fan of the band and there was a discussion about him producing the album. But with Foo Fighters and Hundred Reasons going on, he just wasn’t able to do it.”

But to make up for missing out on the collaboration, Grohl invited Cave In to Foo Fighters on their UK tour. Cave In have toured the UK this year, but the support dates will be their biggest gigs yet – including two dates at London’s Wembley Arena.

The band are honoured by the support slot. Guitarist Adam McGrath said of Grohl’s former band: “When I was growing up Nirvana was my favourite band in the world, they were so important to me and they changed my life.”

The tour calls at: Manchester MEN Arena (November 16)

Newcastle Arena (17)

Birmingham NEC (19)
