Foo Fighters have announced that they will open their very own pub in London this weekend.

The Foo Fighters Arms will be situated at 339 Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9LH and be open for business between 15 and 20 September, selling exclusive merchandise and limited edition items.

It coincides with the release of the band's ninth album Concrete and Gold, which is released this week on 15 September.

The band announced their new business venture on Twitter, sharing a coat of arms with two dragon skeletons holding a shield - a play on the coat of arms for the City of London - with the same Latin motto, 'Domine Dirige Nos' ('Lord, guide us').

On the pub's website, the band also revealed that The Foo Fighters Arms will host "a series of events for both fans and the general public", serve Foo Fighters beer, and hold a pub quiz on Monday 18 September with exclusive prizes.

Frontman Dave Grohl recently revealed that Justin Timberlake is the mystery pop star who sings on the band's new record, after they struck up a friendship while recording at the same studio in LA.

"We'd drink whiskey in the parking lot," he told Rolling Stone. "He was really, really cool. Then the night before his last day, he says: 'Can I sing on your record? I don't want to push it, but - I just want to be able to tell my friends.'"

Foo Fighters' new album Concrete and Gold is out on 15 September.
