The Concrete and Gold North American Tour will kick off in Austin, Texas, on April 18, before coming to Atlanta 10 days later. It will run through the band's July 29 return to Chicago's Wrigley Field. Included on the newly announced itinerary are a July 16-17 two-night stand at New York's Madison Square Garden, a July 21-22 encore doubleheader at Boston's Fenway Park, and much more. Foo Fighters kicked off the first U.S. leg of the Concrete and Gold Tour October 12 with an intimate show by FF standards—the grand opening of The Anthem in Washington DC—a performance that USA Today noted: "transformed the venue into a raucous rock cathedral.” In the days since, Foo Fighters have continued to storm through sold-out arenas in Richmond, Va., Greensboro, N.C., Cincinnati and more.

Formerly Turner Field, Georgia State University took ownership of Georgia State Stadium in January 2017. Originally built for the 1996 Centennial Olympics, the stadium which was used for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies was converted to Turner Field and was the home of the Atlanta Braves for more than 20 years. After taking ownership, Georgia State converted the facility into a football stadium. The Panthers played their first game at the stadium on Aug. 31.
