Foo Fighters tease fully fledged Australian tour for November 2022
nme.comFoo Fighters revealed their plans to embark on a full-scale tour of Australian capital cities this November.Dave Grohl mentioned the tour several times during the Foos’ two-and-a-half hour set, first in a speech building hype for their performance of ‘Shame Shame’ (from last year’s ‘Medicine At Midnight’ album). “You know we’re coming back here in November for a real tour,” he quipped to the crowd, after getting booed for telling them the Foos were about to play a shorter-than-usual set. “We’re just getting warmed up tonight!”The band have since begun teasing cities and venues for the run on social media, hinting that a formal announcement is imminent.
They started by teasing a show for Sydney yesterday morning (March 5), posting a photo of fans lined up at Olympic Park with the caption, “Pulling up to the venue now!
Let’s gooooooo!” The shot appears to be taken out the front of Qudos Bank Arena, though it’s more likely the Foos will play Accor Stadium (which is adjacent to the arena), where they’d held their last two Sydney shows in 2015 and 2018.Shortly after their tease of a Sydney show, the Foos posted similar photos hinting at shows in Melbourne (with the caption, “Hitting the bar first, want one or two beers?”) and Perth (“Checking the merch stand on the way in!
What size do you want?”). If the pictures do indeed match the venues they’re set to play, the Foos’ Melbourne show will go down at AAMI Park – where they last performed in 2011, having played subsequent shows at Etihad Stadium – and Perth at Optus Stadium.
