Foo Fighters have announced details of a one-off in aid of the recent victims of the New Zealand earthquake.

The band will perform at Auckland's Town Hall on Tuesday (March 22).

It comes after singer Dave Grohl recorded a video message for the victims of the earthquake, which struck Christchurch last month, killing almost 200 people.

"We hope that we can see you soon, and do what we can to bring a little bit of happiness back in to your lives,” Grohl said in the message at the time.

Tickets for the funraising gig will go on sale on Friday (March 18). All proceeds will be donated to the CHCH Earthquake Relief Fund.

Foo Fighters release their new album 'Wasting Light' next month.
