Foo Fighters have added another batch of dates to their schedule. The band, who returned to the road at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH, on May 24, have confirmed a run of shows in Australia and New Zealand for late this year and early next year.

The first of five Australian shows will be at the HBF Stadium in Perth, WA, on November 29, and be followed by shows in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. After breaking for Christmas, the band will return down under for three NZ shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in late January.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday, June 15. Full dates below.

Foo Fighters, who played two shows in Germany this weekend at the Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals, return to North America for the next leg of their tour, which kicks off at the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers, AR, on June 14.
