The Foo Fighters tickets have been in great demand for the inclusive tour dates.
The Foo Fighters was formed in Seattle after the demise of the former grunge band Nirvana. Dave Grohl who was a former Nirvana drummer started his solo project which he called Foo Fighters after the tragic death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Dave Grohl decided to recruit some members to his project and after a series of lineup changes, the Foo Fighters is now composed of Dave Grohl (lead vocals, rhythm & lead guitars, drums), Taylor Hawkins (drums), Nate Mendel (bass guitar), Chris Shiflett (lead & rhythm guitars), and Pat Smear (rhytm guitar, backing vocals).
The band has a total of seven studio albums, one live album, 2 compilation albums, three extended plays, and 29 singles. Debuting in 1995, they released their platinum self-titled album Foo Fighters with Roswell Records.

Their studio albums have all reached gold and platinum certifications in the United States. To support their albums, the Foo Fighters went on tours to help in the promotion of their releases.
