FOO FIGHTERS

Description

Special Guests Social Distortion and The Joy Formidable

Having just wrapped up a sold out weekend at Milton Keynes National Bowl in London where they rocked the worlds of no less than 130,000 insanely appreciative fans, Foo Fighters have confirmed the latest series of dates in their forthcoming U.S. arena tour. FOO FIGHTERS will play Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte on November 8. Special guests will be Social Distortion and The Joy Formidable.

The ever-expanding tour rides the relentless momentum of Foo Fighters' recently released seventh album Wasting Light, certified gold less than two months after debuting at #1 in a dozen countries. Wasting Light has also generated arguably the best critical notices of the band's 16-year career. The newly released Foo Fighters: Back & Forth documentary, directed by Oscar winner James Moll, has done likewise, with a just-out four-star ROLLING STONE review raving "a classic rockumentary arc... Dave Grohl has lived an extraordinarily cinematic life."

Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear will be playing hits spanning the Foo Fighters' catalogue of multi-platinum arena anthems, including new staples such as the 13-week Modern Rock #1 "Rope" and "Walk," the band's latest single and subject of the brilliant Sam Jones-directed parody of the classic crime drama Falling Down. Already a viral sensation, the "Walk" clip has been viewed more than a million times since its June 2 premiere.
