The Foo Fighters—who we profiled in the December issue of Guitar World—have announced a 2018 North American tour in support of their new, chart-topping album, Concrete and Gold.
The tour will contain two legs, a Southern leg in the spring—running from mid-April through early May—and a Northeastern/Midwestern swing in the summer—taking place throughout the month of July. The second leg of the tour includes a two-night stand at New York's Madison Square Garden, two nights at Boston's Fenway Park, and a show at Chicago's Wrigley Field.
You can check out the full itinerary below.
Speaking to Guitar World about touring, Grohl said "It’s weird when you come home from that much touring (the band's lengthy 'Sonic Highways' tour, during which Grohl broke his leg during a performance in Sweden) and that much traveling and that much performing."
"You’re dropped silent onto your back porch with this big question mark, like, ‘Okay, who am I? What am I doing here?’ It’s strange. It can turn into that Apocalypse Now scene with the mirror and the bloody hand if you’re not careful, you know?”
Jackson is an Associate Editor at GuitarWorld.com. He’s been writing and editing stories about new gear, technique and guitar-driven music both old and new since 2014, and has also written extensively on the same topics for Guitar Player. Elsewhere, his album reviews and essays have appeared in Louder and Unrecorded. Though open to music of all kinds, his greatest love has always been indie, and everything that falls under its massive umbrella. To that end, you can find him on Twitter crowing about whatever great new guitar band you need to drop everything to hear right now.
