Save the date, Foo Fighters are coming to Fresno
Finally, the Foo Fighters are coming to Fresno.
The Dave Grohl-fronted rock band plays Friday, Dec. 1 at the Save Mart Center on its just announced Concrete and Gold tour. Tickets are $52, $82 or $102 and on sale 10 a.m. June 29, according to Ticketmaster. Floor seating is general admission and standing only. You can sign up for presale access at the band’s website. Capital One is also offering presales, starting 9 a.m. Monday.
The tour coincides with news of a new album, “Concrete and Gold,” which is set for release Sept. 15. The record was produced by pop guru Greg Kurstin and will be “the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever,” Grohl says in a press release: “Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper.”
The band has already teased two songs from the album. It released a video for “Run” early this month and performed the song “Lah Di Da” at a music festival in Iceland.
Along with the album, Foo Fighters announced a headlining slot at CAL JAM 17, at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino. The lineup for the one-day event was curated by Grohl himself and features Queens of the Stone Age, Cage The Elephant, Liam Gallagher, The Kills, Royal Blood, Japandroids, Wolf Alice, Bob Mould, The Struts, Bully, Circa Waves, Babes in Toyland, Adia Victoria, Fireball Ministry, The Obsessed, Pinky Pinky, Starcrawler and White Reaper.
