Fresh from headlining the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival last weekend, Foo Fighters have announced their imminent return to the UK with news that they’re to headline London’s O2 Arena on September 19.
The gig comes just four days after the release of the band’s ninth album, Concrete And Gold, and will be held as part of the venue’s 10th birthday celebrations.
Tickets for the gig go on sale today (June 28). O2 Priority customers can get tickets from 12pm today, with general on-sale tickets available from 4pm at AXS.com.
Frontman Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins both expressed their excitement at the gig on a message posted on Foo Fighters’ Facebook page. .
Foo Fighters last played the O2 Arena in 2007 where they were joined by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Talyor for a rendition of Queen’s ‘’39’.
The O2’s 10th Birthday celebrations have so far included a week-long series of shows from alt-J, Céline Dion and Ed Sheeran. Foo Fighters and Jamiroquai are set to perform later this year, with Foo Fighters playing on September 19 and Jamiroquai playing two shows December 3 and 6.
