The rock powerhouses kicked off the Sonic Highways World Tour in South Africa last month and will be rocking Santiago, Chile later today. If reviews for the tour’s debut show in Cape Town are anything to go by, Aussies and Kiwis are in for a real treat when the tour hits us in a few short weeks:

‘Set closer ‘Everlong’ has majority of us holding onto that last shred of Foos Fury. Dave doesn’t want go. We don’t want him to… I don’t want to say goodbye so I’m just going to say, ‘til we meet again.’ – texxandthecity.com

‘The moment the lights went down, the crowd roared into life as 50,000 people realized that they were about to see one of the greatest rock bands in the world live. And what a show it was… We were a part of history, and part of memories that will last a lifetime.’ –mindequalsblown.net

These newly released GA tickets are on sale from 10am local time, Monday 19 January. With all shows close to selling out, be quick or you might miss your chance to see the Foo Fighters in their finest form yet after an unforgettable twenty years of rocking stadiums the world over. 

Frontier Touring advise that due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, the Foo Fighters’ performance at Perth’s nib Stadium on Saturday 7 March has been moved to the following day, Sunday 8 March.

Foo Fighters will be touring Australia and New Zealand in support of their #1 ARIA album Sonic Highways, supported by Rise Against and local favourites Delta Riggs. Tickets to the Hobart show sold out almost immediately after going on sale, tickets to all other shows are on sale and selling fast. 

Frontier Touring is excited to introduce the support act for Foo Fighters' two stadium shows in February: Auckland punk band Miss June.

Fronted by Annabel Liddell, Miss June is a high energy 4 piece monster which has come a long way since forming only in 2013. Combining elements of punk, grunge and rock they create a sound with melodic hooks and fast driven riffs that are immediately recognizable and entirely their own. Adding to this with their high energy, unpredictable live performances there is no wonder why they are turning heads wherever they go.

Having previously opened for The Jezabels & Die!Die!Die!, this will be the band's first time performing in front of two huge stadium audiences in support of Foo Fighters and Rise Against.

Foo Fighters Sonic Highways Tour of Australia and New Zealand will see Foo Fighters bringing their mammoth stadium anthems to Christchurch's AMI Stadium and Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium in February.

Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear are in their finest form yet and on the Sonic Highways tour, the band and their fans the world over will make every night an unforgettable celebration of 20 years of Foo Fighters.

The Foo Fighters Sonic Highways Tour of Australia and New Zealand is fast shaping up to be the biggest tour of 2015, with more than 235,000 tickets already sold.   To meet the continuing demand for tickets additional sections have now been opened for the Foo Fighters concert at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Thursday 26 February.

Touring in support of their #1 ARIA Album Sonic Highways, the Foo Fighters have proven time and again why they are one of rock’s most exciting live bands.  Their last Australian stadium shows in 2011 saw the band undertake their biggest ever tour of our shores, and 2015 will see them up the ante yet again, performing in even bigger stadiums for Sonic Highways.

Promising first class production and a hit laden set list, the Foo Fighters have invited international rockers Rise Against along for the ride.

Known for selling out arena venues on their previous tours of Australia, Rise Against will be sure to have the crowd heaving off the back of their latest #3 ARIA debut album offering The Black Market

Opening proceedings will be Aussie band Delta Riggs.  Renowned for the ferocity of their live shows, the Melbourne locals are set to showcase their considerable talents before the biggest audiences of their career.

Don’t miss out on seeing the incomparable live rock show that is the Foo Fighters, Rise Against and Delta Riggs.  New Sydney tickets are on sale now fromTicketek.com.au 132 849, starting from $93.10.

Australians and New Zealanders have yet again proven their love for the unstoppable Foo Fighters! Their eighth studio album Sonic Highways (out now through Roswell/Sony Music) debuted at the top of the ARIA album charts and claimed the #2 spot on the New Zealand album charts.
 
Additionally, over 220,000 tickets have already been sold to the Sonic Highways 2015 tour which will hit eight cities across Australia and New Zealand from mid-February next year. Their Hobart show sold out just twenty minutes after going on sale – breaking the venue’s record for quickest sell out!
 
Tickets to all other shows are selling just as quickly, making this unsurprisingly one of the hottest and most talked about tours of the summer. With Christmas just around the corner, now is your chance to make it the most wonder-Foo time of the year.
 
Whether it’s your kids’ first gig, the ultimate night of rock for that special person in your life or a gift from you to you, tickets to the Foo Fighters are the perfect way to stuff that Christmas stocking – is there anything more magnifoocent than the gift of rock?
 
The Sonic Highways album shares its title with the eight-episode HBO series directed by Dave Grohl, described by him as ‘a love letter to the history of American music’. To tide you over until the Foos land on our shores next year, the documentary is currently screening on the GO! Channel across Australia and The Edge TV in New Zealand, with episode six airing over the coming weekend.
 
Each city is going to be rocked once and once only by the Foo Fighters with no further dates to be added to this tour – don’t miss out!

Get ready Australia and New Zealand because the most anticipated rock tour of the summer has just been confirmed!  Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce that rock superstars Foo Fighters will be returning to Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2015 for their biggest shows ever, with very special guests Rise Against.

Last in Australia and New Zealand in 2011 for a massive run of sold out stadium dates, the Foo Fighters treated their fans to the next level of rock and roll awesomeness.

‘DAVE GROHL BOUNDED ACROSS THE STAGE AT AAMI PARK ON FRIDAY NIGHT WITH ENDLESS ENERGY, DECLARING THAT THE FOO FIGHTERS WOULD GIVE THE HUGE CROWD “ONE BIG, LONG ROCK'N'ROLL SHOW”. HE WAS TRUE TO HIS WORD.’ – THE AGE

‘TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF PURE UNADULTERATED, LEGENDARY STADIUM ROCK BY THE WORLD'S FINEST ROCK BAND, THE FOO FIGHTERS. BLEW EVERYBODY AWAY AND MORE’ – TRIPLE M

‘AN EPIC NIGHT OF STADIUM ROCK AT ITS BEST.’ – BEAT

Wrapping up summer in the best way possible, Foo Fighters along with special guests Rise Against will be conquering stadium stages across Australia and New Zealand as well as treating Tasmania to the tour’s only indoor show at Derwent Entertainment Centre. 

The mutual love between Foo Fighters and our fine countries is no secret and the feeling is stronger than ever. The world tour in support of new album Sonic Highways (out November 10 on Roswell/Sony Music) will see the band play their first show in Hobart since 1998 and their first EVER show in Christchurch.  The two cities are ones that the band already has a very strong bond with – Grohl penned the instrumental ‘Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners’ for trapped Tasmanian miners Webb and Russell and in the same year, the band performed a special charity concert in support of the Christchurch earthquake appeal.

In the two decades since the 1995 release of Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album, Foo Fighters have grown into arguably the last great American arena/stadium rock band, raked in 11 Grammy Awards, sold 25 million records worldwide and spawned countless hits including “Everlong," "Monkey Wrench," "My Hero," "Learn To Fly," "All My Life," "Best Of You," "The Pretender," “Walk" and more. 

Produced by Butch Vig and Foo Fighters, Sonic Highways--the band’s eighth studio album and long awaited follow up to 2011’s quadruple-Grammy-winning, international #1 Wasting Light--will be released globally on Monday, November 10.  

Sonic Highways shares its title with the Dave Grohl-directed eight-episode docuseries (currently screening on the GO! Channel across Australia and The Edge TV in NZ) that digs deep into the heart and soul of America’s musical identity. Each one-hour episode is devoted to a different American musical landmark, chronicling the history, cultural environment and people that define each city’s unique musical identity.

  The Foo Fighters Sonic Highways Tour of Australia and New Zealand will see the band bringing many of their mammoth stadium anthems as well as soon to be classics from Sonic Highways such as lead single ‘Something From Nothing’. 

Fellow rock trailblazers Rise Against will be sharing the bill with Foo Fighters at all shows. For over a decade the Chicago locals have brought a relentless thunder to the rock scene and received a bounty of acclaim and awards in the process for tracks like ‘Savior’ and ‘Prayer Of The Refugee’.

Their seventh album The Black Market (out through Universal Music) was released earlier this year and saw the band score their second #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart. Audiences will be treated to the newest additions to Rise Against’s extensive discography like ‘I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore’ and latest single ‘Tragedy + Time’.

Adding a local flavour to the line-up, Melbourne genre-benders The Delta Riggs will be joining the Foo Fighters and Rise Against at all Australian shows (excluding Hobart). Their second album Dipz Zebazios (out now through Inertia Music) is the feature album on triple j this week and is filled with the high-energy jams and intoxicating anthems that the four-piece have become known and loved for.

The Foos have a penchant for selling out shows in seconds flat and based on the level of anticipation for this tour announcement from fans, tickets will not be around for long!

Make sure you’re signed up a Frontier Member to gain access to the pre-sale from Tuesday 11 November or be prepared for when tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday 13 November.

Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear are in their finest form yet and on the Sonic Highways tour, the band and their fans the world over will make every night an unforgettable celebration of 20 years of Foo Fighters.
