Foo Fighters, Weezer eyeing fall tour

By Jonathan Cohen
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Modern rock heavyweights Foo Fighters and Weezer are in talks to team for a fall tour, Foos leader Dave Grohl said on "The Howard Stern Show" Tuesday, the same day the band's double album "In Your Honor" hit stores.

The trek is expected to get underway in September, although sources say details may not be finalized until next week.

The Foo Fighters' only two scheduled North American shows will come Thursday (June 16) in Toronto and Saturday on the site of the former Walker Air Force Base in Roswell, N.M., where they will entertain 500 competition winners.

Beginning July 1 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, the band will hit the European festival circuit. It will also play July 29 at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival.

Weezer is in the midst of its own European tour. The group will begin a summer run July 2 in Las Vegas, as part of the city's 100th birthday celebration. The group's new Geffen album, "Make Believe," is currently No. 17 in its fourth week on The Billboard 200.
