Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett set for Irish solo shows

FOO Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett has just announced a solo tour for next year which kicks off with dates in Dublin and Belfast.

The Foos man will play Dublin's Academy on March 20 followed by a show at The Limelight in Belfast on March 21. The announcement follows the release of his third album Lost At Sea, which features the single Weigh You Down.

Shiflett says: “I can’t wait to get back over to the UK and Ireland for another run of dates. The tour we did last Spring was amazing, the best we’ve ever done.

"The crowds were wild so I can’t wait to see what it’ll be like touring now that the record is out. We’ll definitely mix in a few more new tunes in addition to the older stuff.”
