Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for the Foo Fighters tragically died in March 2022 but to celebrate his life, the Hawkins family and the remaining members of the band are throwing two huge concerts. The first of which is happening at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday 3 September while a second will be at the Kia Forum in LA on Tuesday 27 September. Both gigs will feature an extensive list of some of the biggest names in rock performing live on stage with Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters.
Unsurprisingly, tickets for both gigs sold out almost instantly and even resales have been hard to find. Luckily, both concerts are being live streamed around the world and then made available on-demand, to watch later.

If you're out of the country on holiday or business, you can still get access to a live stream - simply use the best VPN around to get past those geo-restrictions. A streaming VPN is a very handy thing, as it means you can hop on a server within the US, UK or anywhere else and it will switch your IP address to make it appear as if you're browsing right from the comfort of your own home.
- VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
- As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
- Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
- When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
- Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it.
- To live stream Wimbledon 2022, all you need to do is select a UK server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with the likes of BBC iPlayer opening its online gates to you.
- We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
