Foo Fighters detail secret UK shows

The Foo Fighters have confirmed the first of three UK club shows they’ve been hinting about will take place in Brighton tomorrow night.

Dave Grohl and co headline the Invictus Games in London’s Millennium Park on Sunday. But over the weekend they began suggesting that additional performances would take place.

Tickets went on sale at 4pm today for the first of the shows, at Brighton’s Concorde 2 venue. Tickets were available at gigsandtours.com priced at £27.50, but sold out within minutes.

Doors open at 6.30pm with the show starting at 8pm prompt. Further details on the two additional shows are expected to follow shortly.

Once the first show sold out, the band tweeted: “Brighton, see you guys tomorrow…2 more to come, UK…keep your eyes & ears open.”

The Foos are poised to release eighth album Sonic Highways on November 10. A full UK tour is expected in due course.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
