Foo Fighters Set 2015 Tour Schedule, New Release Debuts At No. 2
2015 is looking to be a Foo Fighters kind of year.
Rolling Stone is reporting that Dave Grohl and the rest of the Foo Fighters will begin an extensive American tour July 4, 2015 in Washington, D.C. Part of the Independence Day show will include guest artists from each of the cities Foo Fighters paid tribute to on their latest album, Sonic Highway. Foo Fighters went to eight different cities to record songs with artists native to the cities they visited. Those cities were Austin, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Nashville, Tennessee; New Orleans, Louisana; New York City, New York; Seattle, Washington; and Washington, D.C.
Thus far, confirmed participants for the Independence Day show include Austin’s Gary Clark Jr., Chicago’s Buddy Guy, Los Angeles’ Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, New Orleans’ Trombone Shorty, New York City’s LL Cool J with DJ Z-Trip, Seattle’s Heart and Washington D.C.’s Trouble Funk.
The Foo Fighters will be employing “Beat The Bots” tickets, selling in order to minimize scalper’s access to tickets. Those tickets will go on sale on November 22 at 10:00 AM of this year, and you can go to the band’s website, Foofighters.com, for more information. The next sale will be a presale on December 1, followed by the ticket sales on December 4 and 5. The concert dates at Fenway Park in Boston will handle their ticket sales in a different and unreleased fashion.
