Foo Fighters Tickets

Buy tickets safely & securely with Seatwave

After Foo Fighters announced their less-than-secret show at Brighton's Concorde 2, tickets from first-hand ticket vendors naturally sold out in a flash - leaving many fans more than a little disappointed.

The band teased fans with an image of Brighton rock and Queen lyrics from the track of the same name, now the band have taken to Twitter to confirm the date and venue and announce that tickets have gone on sale, under the alias of The Holy Shits:

Guys... heads up - ticket link will be up about 4pm. there are no tickets available at the box office.

— Foo Fighters (@foofighters) September 9, 2014

Naturally, Twitter has since been flooded with fans disappointed at not being able to get tickets or eager for the band to announce the other two secret gigs:

Below: What to expect from upcoming Foo Fighters' gigs

Pyrotechnics: Why? because who doesn't like watching massive flames on a stage. With the Invictus Games organised by Prince Harry himself, we're holding out for some huge production so here's hoping the guys bring some dynamite set-enhancers.
