Dave Grohl Thinks Crowdfunded Tours Could Be Game Changer

07/08/2014
. (Classic Rock) Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl thinks that crowdfunded tours could become the norm for bands in years to come. Foo Fighters have agreed to play a gig in Richmond, Virginia USA after fan Andrew Goldin launched a crowdfunding appeal to get the band to perform there for the first time since 1998.

Goldin set a goal of selling 1400 tickets for $50 each, with donors only being charged if the band agreed to play. When the Foos heard about the successful campaign they said they would play - although a date and venue have not yet been confirmed.

Grohl tells a South African radio station: "It could become the way that bands decide where they want to play. It's a fun thing - it sort of changes the game." more on this story
