Foo Fighters have announced a North American tour. The new dates will kick off The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, PA, on May 14. After visiting Europe for previously announced shows in June and July, the North American dates will resume on July 17 at New York Citi Field, before finishing with two shows at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles the following month. New dates highlighted below.
One of the new shows, due to be held at the Huntington Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN, on August 3, has already been canceled, after the venue – located on the University of Minnesota campus – rejected the band's covid safety protocols.
In a statement on Twitter, the band said, "Due to Huntington Bank Stadium's refusal to agree to the band's covid safety measures, Foo Fighters are unable to perform at that venue. We apologise for any inconvenience and are working on finding a suitable replacement – one that will prioritise the health and safety of everyone working and attending the show."
"The university declined to change its existing protocols for large events, which have been effective," public relations director Jake Ricker told the Star Tribune.
The stadium doesn't currently require patrons to provide proof of negative covid test results before entry, and does not require the wearing of masks.
Tickets for the new shows will go on sale to the public on Friday, December 3 at 10am local time.
This week, lead Foo Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin launched a new series of their Hanukkah Sessions, turning Lisa Loeb's Stay (I Missed You) into a black metal epic and saluting The Ramones with a frantic cover of Blitzkrieg Bop.
