The Foo Fighters are returning to Australia and New Zealand for a stadium tour at the end of this year but one city isn’t happy about being left out.
Fresh off their historic Geelong concert last week, Dave Grohl and co. confirmed they’d be coming back to the country in November and December for their first headline tour of Australia and New Zealand since 2018.
Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Wellington, and Auckland are the stops on the tour, with Adelaide missing out. That didn’t go down well with Foos’ fans in the city because they’ve been through this before: back in 2011, Adelaide was again left off the band’s tour but, after a successful petition was launched, Grohl insisted they’d never forget the city in the future.
That’s why another petition has been launched over a decade later to see if lightning can strike twice. Titled #OperationFoo2022, the petition on change.org already has 4,583 signatures, almost at its goal of 5,000.
As the petition makes clear, Adelaide has really backed the campaign, with The Advertiser, GlamAdelaide, and Ten News Adelaide all covering the petition.
“Use this hashtag on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok everywhere,” the petition implores. “Also tag our Instagram account @foofightersadelaide2022. If we keep signing and sharing this petition around it is possible for a date to be added I believe. It’s been done once we can do it again.”
