Foo Fighters, who first headlined the Garden in 2008, last played at the venue in 2018.
"When we got the call if we wanted to open up The Garden, that's how you kick it off. That's how you start it. It's going to happen there. It's going to be big. It's going to be a long night," Grohl told shock jock Howard Stern.
