Foo Fighters have revealed more ticket details about their mammoth shows at the Milton Keynes Bowl.
One of the most popular rock acts of their generation, Foo Fighters have been dormant for too long. Taking a break in 2008, the band decided to indulge themselves in a series of all star side projects.
However the lure of Foo Fighters was too strong, and the American act went back into the studio earlier this year. Close to completing their new album, the band recently confirmed two enormous shows at the Milton Keynes Bowl.
Now the band have confirmed that O2 customers will be able to get their hands on tickets before anyone else. Tickets to the Foo Fighters gigs, at the Milton Keynes Bowl on July 2nd – 3rd 2011 go on sale to O2 customers at 9am on 3 November, a whole 48 hours before they go on general release.
To register, just text FOO to 2020 from a mobile on the O2 network. If you’re mobile isn’t working or you have no credit simply head to www.o2priority.co.uk/foo and follow the instructions on the O2 website.
Meanwhile, Dave Grohl has spoken about his favourite memories of the UK. “That’s a tough one. We’ve had so many amazing shows in the UK over the years. Festivals and clubs, arenas and stadiums………I can remember almost every show we’ve ever played, but choosing favorites is always tough.”
“I’d probably have to say that my favorite festival headlining slot was Reading 2002. It was just before our 4th record (One By One) came out, and rather than open the show with something familiar, we decided to open with a new one. Kind of risky, but we knew it was gonna rock. It was “All My Life”, before anyone had ever heard it, and the crowd went bananas. Having played Reading for the first time in 1991 with Nirvana, headlining that festival a decade later with the Foos was a serious moment for me. It was a huge achievement, personally. I’ll always love that festival. It kind of feels like home to me.”
“Without question, the Wembley Stadium shows of 2008 were the bands headlining career highlight. It still amazes me that we sold that place out. Twice! It’s a pretty good feeling walking of stage drenched in sweat after having rocked 85,000 people…….you should try it sometime…..”
