Good news for Foo Fighters fans, as the eagerly-awaited Studio 666 is coming to cinemas.

Previously only an American release date had been confirmed, but the band revealed the good news that UK fans can go to see it too.

You haven't got long to wait either - it's coming out next month.

The band tweeted: "UK!!! Studio 666 is officially slaying cinemas February 25!!!" with a Union Jack flag and horror-related emojis.

Watch the trailer below.

In case you missed it, Studio 666 tells the story of Foo Fighters moving into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock history.

It's actually the same place the band genuinely went to record their album in real life.

In the world of Studio 666 though, Dave Grohl finds himself doing battle against supernatural forces.

“Yep…we actually went and made a big, loud, bloody horror movie. Because…why the hell not?” said Dave Grohl.  “After keeping Studio 666 our dirty little secret for years, we’re so f******* excited to bring it to you guys for a full-on theatrical release.

"This thing was MEANT for the big screen. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it.”

Director BJ McDonnell said: “STUDIO 666 is a perfect combination of all things I love. Rock, horror, and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture. I am so excited to have teamed up with the Foo Fighters to create an old school “Band” movie.

"It’s been years since we’ve seen something like the Beatles “Help!”, The Monkees “Head”, or “KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park”. Take that 60’s / 70’s old school band film fun, mix it with horror and STUDIO 666 is born! I am so ecstatic for audiences of film and music to come together and enjoy our film.”
