Considering Coachella could book a Blue Ivy DJ set headliner and sell out I don't see why they wouldn't loosen the contracts in regards to LA shows after the fest for someone like Foo.
Except none of the news that broke today gives us anymore reason to think Foo Fighters will be at Coachella?
Just the fact that they are doing stadiums in every major city EXCEPT Los Angeles where they are just doing one night at an arena. They have the demand to do a stadium show in the area, but I figured they didn't decide on a massive stadium show because they'll already be doing a major show (coachella) in the area a few months prior.
I dunno man this is obviously just wishful thinking haha
Could just be that the Dodgers are playing at home that week and we don't have any other stadiums for them to choose from. Also, I'm sure more Forum dates will be announced and more North American dates will come. I am speculating that after this round of "beat the bots" box office sales, we'll get more dates. It's weird to me that some pretty major cities/markets aren't even on the bill.
Everyone is eating up the Dave Grohl click bait all over the net these days and decided he is an awesome guy and now want to see the Foo Fighters even though they probably dont know more than 5 songs?
I mean, the Foo Fighters are a perfectably serviceable pop-rock act. Among their goonish, mook-rock peers, they're certainly a cut above, but they're not some game changer. It's just in recent years where they've been elevated to this demi-god status, which is especially puzzling as they haven't released any new music really worth a damn since what, 2001 or so?

Well, when you know a fest like Coachella is going to have at least one goonish, mook-rock headliner, you start hoping it's Foo Fighters cause the alternatives are all so dreadful.

I guess they're doing it on the strength of the live show. When I saw them they were way better than I expected. Probably in top 5 rock bands that I've seen live.

I have never seen a negative review of their live show by a fan. Just curious, would they be ahead or behind Foreigner on your list of top live rock show experiences?

I think you're confusing Foreigner with the rock-gods known as Journey (featuring Filipino karaoke sensation Arnel Pineda).

Oops. Yeah, that's it. Was Journey or Foos better live?

Haha that Journey show was great but I wouldn't rank them high. I haven't been fortunate to see Foreigner yet.

For a while over the last year or two they've done some extra-long shows that were getting really awesome reviews from most outlets I saw. I think they just have been playing really great shows which has helped them stay on people's minds and now with the 20 year anniversary of the band they are getting a bit more media exposure. It feels like every week I read another article that is basically "Dave Grohl comments on INSERT-CURRENT-MUSIC-INDUSTRY-ISSUE". The HBO show doesn't hurt their exposure either.
I think it's a mix of fans who've liked them for years and other new fans who are being bombarded with the idea that Foo Fighters are the epic rock band of a generation so they automatically love them and everything they do.
To be fair, Royksopp doesn't exactly tour much. 24 U.S. shows since 2001 (at least according to Setlist.fm). It's not like GV has just been dropping the ball all these years.

They also played some random US festivals, e.g. Nocturnal Fest in Texas back in 2012. They would receive such a warm welcome at Coachella. Mojave. Late night. Please.
