Foo Fighters announce June 2024 UK stadium tour
They play six epic shows
Last updated 27th Jun 2023
Fresh from storming Glastonbury last Friday, Foo Fighters have announced a UK stadium tour for June 2024.
Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee and Josh Freese will play a total of six gargantuan shows on the Everything Or Nothing At All Tour.
The tour opens at Manchester Emirates Old Trafford on 13th June and visits Glasgow Hampden Park, two nights at London Stadium, Cardiff Principality Stadium and Birmingham Villa Park.
Tickets to Foo Fighters’ stadium tour will be extremely high in demand when they go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 9am on Friday 30th June.
Support on Foo Fighters’ Everything or Nothing at All UK Tour will come from Wet Leg, Courtney Barnett, Himalayas, Honeyblood, Hot Milk and Shame.
Foo Fighters were due to play a UK stadium tour in June and July 2022, however all dates were cancelled following the untimely death of drummer Taylor Hawkins.
With Josh Freese newly recruited as their drummer, Foo Fighters made their live return in May at a series of shows across North America last month.
They also headlined Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park before their coveted ‘secret’ slot on The Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
The Foos are currently touring their “emotionally raw” 11th studio album ‘But Here We Are’, which debuted at Number 1 in the UK on 9th June just ahead of Noel Gallagher’s ‘Council Skies'.
Dedicated to Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl’s late mum Virginia, ‘But Here We Are’ has spawned the singles ‘Rescued’, ‘Under You’, ‘Show Me How’, ‘The Teacher’ and ‘The Glass.’
