An expanded North American tour by Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters will stop in Victoria this year, it has been announced.
The Grammy Award-winning rock group will visit Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre on Oct. 3. The Foos’ inaugural Victoria performance was one of 10 additional dates added to their itinerary Monday, along with appearances in Penticton (Oct. 1) and Vancouver (Oct. 5).
