American rock band the Foo Fighters have announced a UK tour next summer with a huge gig set for Manchester.

The rockers have revealed they will return to the UK for the summer in 2024 for dates also including Cardiff, Glasgow, Birmingham and London.

The big news comes just days after the music legends gave a surprise appearance at Glastonbury Festival — where they have previously been headliners — under the alias The Churn-ups.

It was here they told fans they would be touring the UK next year, officially releasing the news today (June 27th).

The band’s six UK stadium dates for the ‘Everything or Nothing at All’ UK Tour will kick off in Manchester at Emirates Old Trafford Stadium on June 13th 2024. From there, they will head to Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Birmingham.

Tickets to see the Foo Fighters on tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday June 30th at 9am via Ticketmaster.

It will be the band’s first UK tour since the death of their late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who tragically died in March 2022, aged 50.

Just last year, the band played a huge memorial set dedicated to their bandmate Hawkins to 90,000 fans.

Families can explore unique play zones scattered across Manchester, with everything from giant mazes and steam-powered carousels to retro video games and family raves.

The family festival will feature six key zones across the city, including The Garden in Exchange Square, featuring an 18m x 18m real hedge maze reaching two metres high.

Then there’s The Carnival in St Ann’s Square, a steampunk spectacle of old-school carnival games, including a traditional Victorian Carousel, a mind-bending Hall of Mirrors, and Test of Strength stand.

Other zones include The Playground with Waterloo Road, where popular schoolyard games come to life on New Cathedral Street in collaboration with BBC’s Waterloo Road, gaming at The Arcade in the Printworks, The Sports Hall at Great Northern Warehouse, and The Party at Aviva Studios.

Then there’s The Rave, bringing family raves and parties featuring a world-class sound system and dazzling lighting displays to the Great Northern Warehouse.

Venues like the National Football Museum, Stoller Hall, People’s History Museum and Castlefield Viaduct are also set to host their own exciting activities.

And families can experience the launch of CBBC’s Operation Ouch: Brains, Bogeys and You at the Science and Industry Museum.

Supported by the city’s hoteliers, Manchester Accommodation BID, the festival has been created in partnership with Manchester City Centre Business Improvement District, Manchester City Council, Marketing Manchester, Aviva Studio, Great Northern Warehouse and Printworks.
Manchester Accommodation BID Chairman, Kumar Mishra said, “This festival is a fantastic opportunity to draw families into the heart of Manchester, showcasing the city’s vibrant culture, creativity, and its status as a world-class destination.
