Foo Fighters Postpone NOLA Shows Due To A “Band Member Injury”

Foo Fighters were originally scheduled to christen the new Fillmore New Orleans stage for their grand opening celebration, on February 15th and February 16th, 2019.

Today, the band announced that they must postpone their Fillmore New Orleans shows until May 15th and 16th “due to a band member injury”. Foo Fighters note that all tickets for the original dates will be honored in May. Refunds are available at the point of purchase until the end of day on Monday, February 18th for those who are unable to attend the new dates.

The rock band shared a brief message to their fans, explaining, “The band apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling. They regret that they will no longer be able to christen The Fillmore New Orleans, but promise to bring it in May.”

Due to the unanticipated Foo Fighters postponement, Coheed and Cambria will be the first to play the new Fillmore Nola with a scheduled performance on Monday, February 18th.

The New Orleans venue will be the newest addition to Live Nation’s Fillmore brand, which already includes rooms in Charlotte, NC; Miami, FL; Silver Spring, MD; Detroit, MI; and Philadelphia, PA. Considering its location, The Fillmore at Harrah’s New Orleans will showcase local architectural styles, such as wrought iron gates and gas street lanterns.

The Fillmore at Harrah’s New Orleans will also include a Lobby Bar, BG’s Lounge, and a VIP room named after original Fillmore impresario, Bill Graham. In addition to the concert area, the venue will feature an array of private event spaces for corporate gatherings, weddings, private dinners, and more.
