Clearly the stadium gigs arranged in the UK, North America and various other spots around the world weren’t quite enough for the Foo Fighters, so they’ve now decided to add another huge outdoor concert to their 2015 touring plans, this time in Ireland.
Again joined by Kaiser Chiefs and Hozier, the band will play Slane Castle on May 30th 2015, a date which falls smack bang in the middle of the previously announced UK stadium gigs which are due to take place in Sunderland, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. Tickets are up for grabs from next Monday morning (December 1st).
The world tour is launched on the back of the ambitious trans-continental exploits of ‘Sonic Highways‘, of which Live4ever’s review reads:
“You cannot fault the Foo’s penchant for reliably ploughing a very specific and enjoyable furrow. At only eight songs in total, ‘Sonic Highways’ could almost be a mini album, yet although it may be reasonably compact in length, it is a very full album.”
“This is an instance in which a band has merely weeded out all the unnecessary to truly focus on the whole – something that so many albums would benefit from; rather than being a mixed bag of twelve tracks, it’s simply just eight extremely strong ones.”
