Chris Shiflett Plots His UK & Ireland Return

Foo Fighters axe man Chris Shiflett has announced a run of UK & Ireland solo shows which will, no doubt, showcase his latest run of Honky Tonk-influenced backroom Country bar tunes.

Back in July 2022, Shiflett released Long, Long Year, the first single from his forthcoming third solo effort before following it up in September with Born & Raised, a tune which would feel right at home in a Bozeman drinking hole that might pop up in hit show Yellowstone. Check out the lyric video for the tune below:

Says Shiflett of the tour: “I am so excited to announce my upcoming tour of the UK & Ireland! The gigs I did over there in 2019 were some of the wildest, most rocking solo shows I’ve ever done, and I expect this one will be even better. We’ve got a bunch of new tunes to play and we’re fired up!”

Chris Shiflett will play:

MARCH 2023
21st – Dublin, Ireland – Whelan’s
22nd – Glasgow, UK – St. Luke’s
24th – Leeds, UK – Brudenell Social Club
25th – Manchester, UK – Band on the Wall
26th – Bristol, UK – Thekla
28th – London, UK – Scala
