Foo Fighters have rescheduled the rest of their 25th anniversary tour. Previously, only shows in the April portion of the trek were moved, but now the May shows have shifted as well. Most of the dates will now take place in October, although one, a headlining slot at the Boston Calling festival, has been canceled along with the rest of that event.
The trek will see the band playing in the same cities it visited during the Foos' very first tour in 1995, when the group hit the road in a Dodge van.
Frontman Dave Grohl told us a while back about the Foos' growth as a live act: “The first tour we did, we were playing to maybe, I don't know, 500 people a night or something like that, you know. And then that turned into doing theatres and so you get to that stage where you're playing to 1,200 people and you're like, 'Man, I could do this for the rest of my life, this is great.' And then you get to the point where you're playing to like 5,000 people a night, and then you start selling out arenas and you're like, 'God, I can't believe that we've gotten to this point.' And then you start selling out stadiums, and it just keeps on getting better, you know.”
This year is supposed to feature an extended celebration of the Foos' 25th anniversary, including the “Van Tour,” a massive all-day stadium event in Washington D.C. on July 4th and a brand new studio LP. All those plans are, for now, up in the air due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
