A couple of more concerts announced for The Peake

Heard about this on the radio here in Dallas when I was coming into work this morning. The DJs were apoplectic and almost offended that Foo Fighters weren't coming to Texas, with one of the saying "Ewww, we have to go all the way to OKLAHOMA CITY??" It was quite comical actually.

Good catch for OKC though. I think a lot of people will be there from out of town.

Unfortunately they are performing in Wichita and KC, so people coming in will most likely come in from Texas, but that is never a bad thing.

This show was poorly attended.. about 4k. they overbooked staffing and were calling people the day before to cancel shifts due to poor ticket sales.

I am sure Foo Fighters will be sold out!.. glad we got the show here in OKC.

I was there for this concert. although very good i was surprised at poor turnout. Korn and Rob Zombie last real was pretty close to sold out (upper level curtained off)

the foo fighters tour sets them up perfectly to headline austin city limits festival in october, though.

That's disappointing. Slipknot usually does well in OKC when they played at the Zoo in 2009 and 2012. Maybe the cost was too much for some people. I know I would have wanted to be on the floor or not at all.
