Foo Fighters Announce 2018 North American Tour

(TRR) – Foo Fighters have announced a North American tour in support of their new album Concrete and Gold. The trek is set to kick off on April 18 and will run through the summer. The run concludes on July 29 with a massive performance at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 3 at 10AM local time. Tickets for the Chicago show at Wrigley Field go on sale November 10. A Capitol One Cardholder Pre-Sale starts Thursday, October 26 at 10AM local time and runs through Saturday, October 28 at 10AM local time or until pre-sale tickets run out. The Capitol One Chicago Pre-Sale starts Monday, November 6 at 10AM CT. For details on the Capitol One Pre-Sale are available HERE.

Foo Fighters curated their CalJam17 festival back on October 7. On October 12, they kicked off the first leg of their North American tour by playing the grand opening of the new Washington, D.C. venue The Anthem. The Struts are serving as special guests for the tour.

The band’s new album Concrete and Gold (Roswell/RCA) debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 back in September. Producer Greg Kurstin (Beck, Lana Del Ray, Adele) stepped into the studio for this album. “I wanted it to be the biggest-sounding Foo Fighters record ever,” frontman Dave Grohl said. “To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement. Motörhead’s version of [The Beatles’] ‘Sgt. Pepper’ or something like that.” Darrel Thorp (Beck, Radiohead) mixed the disc.
