Jackson native and former mayor Charles “Charlie” Joseph Brown passed away Sunday evening, Dec. 17 following a lengthy illness.

Dave Grohl said he had lost count of the number of times Foo Fighters have toured Australia “10, 20, 100”. The answer is actually 13. Foo Fighters first toured Australia on the Summersault Festival in 1995. They were back in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2018 and for that one-off show in Geelong in 2022. The early tours were mainly club shows. The biggest they got in those first 10 years (outside festivals) was a Festival Hall show in Melbourne. The first arena show was in 2005 and for the past 10 years it has been stadiums.

Ahead of the Foo Fighters’ 2023 Australian tour, Chris Shiflett wonders if his own shows are filled with “people that have heard my music” or punters that are “just curious because they know me from Foo Fighters”.

Tickets go on sale later this week.
