Foo Fighters - Thu Apr 24 @ Entertainment Centre

ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE TOUR 2008

Having cemented their place as "the last great American rock band" with a recent sold out UK/Europe arena tour in support of the #1 Australia/New Zealand charting Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, the Foo Fighters have confirmed a spring 2008 return to Australia.

The last time the Foo Fighters were in Australia they wowed a select number of fans with their brilliant acoustic shows at Sydney Opera House, showcasing the intimate interpretations of their catalogue documented on the live Skin & Bones album.

The already platinum Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is the Foo Fighters at the top of their game. The band's sixth studio album has been regaled by the press worldwide, with NME describing it as "a near-seamless amalgam of the Foos' musical yin and yang... the record the Foo Fighters have always threatened to make", the New York Times proclaiming "there's a lot of craft here to admire" and Entertainment Weekly labeling ESP&G "Perfect... a modern-day CD that reverberates with the conviction and artistry of bygone days".

Foo Fighters' 12 years plus experience of headlining stadiums and festivals the world over has molded them into possibly the most consistent arena rock juggernaut of the new millennium.

TOUR DATES:
Monday 21 April - Burswood Dome, Perth
Thursday 24 April - Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Friday 25 April - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
Tuesday 29 April - Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Friday 2 & Saturday 3 May - Acer Arena, Sydney

Final release tickets on sale now!

I didn't really like their last album (the one released last year)
Although I have always rated them and they were awesome live at the BDO.

My mates going to Melbs to see them cos Adelaide sold out really quickly I think.

 I really like the Foo Fighters although they are very samey.

 

 Wish I was goin to this

 

Holy moly, it's sold out already! 

I just had a look and GA has sold out well 'Alloc. Exhausted'
There are still reserved seats though.

If you go in to the Main Ticket Office you may well find they still have heaps of tickets.

That's what I have done in the past. Still wouldn't sleep though.

Agreed on all counts.
I'd really like to see them live but its definitely not gonna happen this time round.

never really heard their stuff apart from their 1 or 2 big hit singles

how would you describe their sound?

power melodies

awesome

For someone who is a big fan of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and the like I thought you would have heard a lot more of them. Maybe you should get out from under that rock an have a listen but start with the older stuff then new album didn't do it for me.

cheers mate will do

 Pretty much like their hit singles to be honest.

hypnotic and sounds damn impressive.
