Foo Fighters were scheduled for a World Wide Tour throughout 2022 with a stop at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Tuesday July 19th. Today Foo Fighters have made a decision regarding those immediate plans. The decision is to cancel the tour.

Saratoga Performing Arts Center officially list the July show as cancelled.
