Foo Fighters Announce 2015 North American Tour

We’ve waited around while Foo Fighters announced dates in South America, Australia and the U.K. Now, it’s North America’s tour. As promised, the rockers rolled out gigs for U.S. and Canada today, along with details about its “Beat The Bots” presale.  

Dave Grohl & Co. have a question for you: “Sick of Scalper-BOTS programmed to clog the online queue & snatch up huge amounts of tickets to resell them?”

The band is sick of ‘em too. To fight back, the band has planned a special presale so “HUMANS get first shot at tickets.”

That’s right, the Foo Fighters are doing this old school with a box-office-only presale on Saturday, Nov. 22.

While most line up locations for the “Beat The Bots” presale take place at the venue’s box office, there are a few exceptions. The “Beat The Bots” location for the DTE Energy Music Theatre show is at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Auburn Hills, Mich. Rather than meeting at the Gorge Amphitheatre box office, you’ll want to line up at the KeyArena in Seattle. And if you want to buy presale tickets for the Ak-Chin Pavilion show, make sure you line up Saturday at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix. As for the Xcel Energy Center, the line up location is at the venue’s Gate 1.

Line ups begin Saturday between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. local time. The “Beat The Bots” line ups for all shows end at 3 p.m. local time.
