Foo Fighters are seemingly not going forward with a North America tour in the Fall this year. Fans had speculated that they will be having a tour later this year but it seems it won’t happen.
Foo Fighters calling ending world tour?
Fans on Reddit have noted that the band was slated to perform at Van Andel Arena in Michigan on September 20. However, it has come to light that the band guitarist Chris Shiflett will be performing at Hopmonk Tavern in California a day before. This rules out a possible Foo Fighters tour in the fall.
Shiflett is best known as the lead guitarist for Foo Fighters who took the stage and displayed his exemplary solo work which leans heavily into Americana and rock. Shiflett’s set was a contrast to the funky vibes of Con Brio. His performance of “West Coast Town” highlighted his strong songwriting skills and guitar skills. The set was a love letter to classic rock and roll, with the Shiflett trio proving themselves a formidable rock band.
Foo Fighters recently returned to the road with the launch of their 2024 Everything or Nothing at All tour on May 1 in Dallas. The sold-out show emanated from the Dos Equis Pavilion, with an estimated 20,000 fans in attendance.
It has been noted that Dave Grohl and his bandmates have a massive reputation for delivering long shows, and they certainly met the expectations, rocking through 24 songs during their set.
Tour dates
Foo Fighters’ initial stretch of 2024 U.S. dates is set to last two weeks and include stops at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, Shaky Knees Festival and Welcome to Rockville. In June, the band heads to the U.K. and Europe for performance and will return to North America for a longer run of dates beginning in July. Mammoth WVH and the Pretenders will each open select concerts later in the summer.
This also marks the Foo Fighters first extensive North American tour with Josh Freese as part of the band. The drummer, who took over for the late Taylor Hawkins in 2023, previously joined the group for some one-off U.S. dates and a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The Dallas show had featured several songs Freese hadn’t previously performed with the band, including “Bridge Burning” and “Medicine at Midnight.” The There Is Nothing Left to Lose song “Aurora” was dedicated to Hawkins.
