Foo Fighters Take The Highway Downunder

The rockers will be hitting up major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. Previously announced international stops on the world trek include South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Columbia. So far, the only U.S. gig on the 2015 schedule is the big Wrigley Field show in Chicago Aug. 29.

The band does have a few U.S. performances coming up in the very near future.
