Foo Fighters and Tenacious D

[yeah_nah_yeah]

Foo Fighters have announced their tour to Aus in late 2011. Tenacious D will support them:

Nov 28, 2011 - nib Stadium, Perth
Dec 2, 2011 - AAMI Park, Melbourne
Dec 5, 2011 - Adelaide Oval, Adelaide
Dec 8, 2011 - Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney
Dec 10, 2011 - Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast

Pre sale tickets go on sale this Thursday, General public, next Monday.

Be good to see the Foo Fighters again. I have never seen Tenacious D live, but have seen video (and they weren't the best due to no backing band) so will be interesting to see what they are like.

Anyone else going?

Why the hell can't they bring a good band like The Joy Formidable along as support, like they're doing on the east coast leg of their US arena tour? I might actually go (even though I'm not really a Foo Fighters fan) if that was the case (as The Joy Formidable would be epic in an open air setting).

Who the hell are they?

 

[HugeJohnson]

How much are tickets going to be? Have to go to this.

 

[Warsaw]

Someone told me the Strokes were coming with them. Grr.

 

[Damon_3388]

Who the hell are they?

One of the most exciting new rock bands of the last couple of years IMO. Why Triple J aren't flogging the absolute guts out of their album I don't know (their debut The Big Roar hasn't received any airplay on Australian radio, and hasn't seen a physical release in Australia either, which is a crying shame on both counts). They're supporting Grohl and Co. on the east coast leg of the US tour. Why can't they come here? Would make the show a much more attractive prospect than bloody Tenacious D.

I hoping Tenacious D will sing their one hit wonder then get off the stage

 

[yeah_nah_yeah]

I saw Tenacious D's movie the other day "The Pick of Destiny", wow what a shocker.

Lets hope they can hold their own on stage.

l will most likely be going to see the foo's.l am not a big fan of Tenacious D but.they prob will be better than than that stupid b!tch that opened for the foo's last time they were here.And l hope they dont bring the triangle player this time.

 

[alfy!]

Rumours that The Living End will support too.

Tickets are ~$100-$130. Very nice.

Missed out on presale tickets today so have to wait until Monday.
Flicking through Foxtel last night and found their doco "Back and Forth". Watching that got me 10x more excited to see them again.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Got my tickets yesterday

 

[alfy!]

Got tickets

 

[yeah_nah_yeah]

Got tickets today. Now lets just hope the rumours are true and the Living end are named as support as well.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Absolute worst time for me to get tickets to this gig. Probably have to miss it unless they're still available in a month or so (probably be shit seats anyway).

Foos are great live.

 

[rocker_oz33]

there doing a second show Saturday night so yeah.l am not sure were to sit as l have not being to aami before all gold is gone or mmm what to do now.

 

[mansize rooster]

so foo's are said to be playing for 3 hrs
post your dream setlist here..

 

[HigginsHawk]

Got Sat gold standing tickets. Looks like limited tickets for both nights already. I must be one of the few people looking forward to the D as well. I openly admit to being a fan.

 

[rocker_oz33]

finally got tickets Friday night sliver level 3 prob not the best seats in the house but lam there that's the main thing l guess.

 

[Kyptastic]

Finally got through - I had access to standing room Friday, but it wouldn't process through the Internet at work. I ended up with level 3 on Saturday. Bit pissed tbh.

 

[The_Todd07]

General Admision on Saturday

As for songs, I'll be more than happy if they just come out and play Everlong. My Hero was spine tingling last time I saw them.

 

[kaiserchief13]

I got standing room on Saturday. Already pumped!!!

 

[La Dispute]

I thought Manchester Orchestra were supporting?

What happened there?
