More than 1,000 Foo Fighters fans have come together in Italy to perform one of the band's tracks in a bid to convince the rockers to play a show in the region.

Footage taken of the stunt shows the huge group of musicians lined up in a field in the northern city of Cesena playing the band's 1999 anthem 'Learn to Fly', viewable above.

The stunt was carried out in a bid to persuade the band to play a show in the area when they visit northern Italy in November, and the rockers showed their appreciation by sharing a video of the performance online with the caption "Che bello, Cesena," which translates as "How beautiful, Cesena."

Frontman Dave Grohl also responded with a video on Facebook, in which he speaks Italian and promises the band will play in Italy soon.
