    On Sunday morning (February 22), Dave Grohl and co. revealed that they would be playing small shows at Dublin’s Academy on Monday (February 23), London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Wednesday (February 25) and Manchester’s O2 Ritz on Friday (February 27).

    In order to get tickets, fans had to queue outside the respective venues at 12pm and they were handed out on a first come, first serve basis. They were priced at £99 each and fans were limited to two tickets per person.

    Inevitably, all three venues saw huge queues of Foos fans amassing as midday drew near, and at 1:55pm, the band confirmed on social media that both Dublin and Manchester had sold out, while at the time there were still London tickets available, with the box office set to close at 5:30pm.

    Some of those successful in getting their hands on tickets took to social media to celebrate, with one writing: “Foo Fighters tickets secured for tomorrow what a fever dream morning that was”.
