As they wrap up a run of arena shows in the UK, Foo Fighters have announced the first several dates of what will be the first full American tour in support of their new album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. As on the warm up dates early this fall, the tour will feature additional Fighters beyond the core foursome – Pat Smear on guitar, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, and Jessie Greene on strings. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is Foo Fighters' sixth studio album and has already proven itself a worthy addition to the band's discography.
