Foo Fighters are in London this week for a headlining performance at Invictus Games, but they also recently dropped a Twitter hint that more shows could very well be on the way.
So, basically, UK fans are lucky ducks this week; Foo Fighters shows in the area just increased by 400 percent!
The official Foo account posted the following message on Sunday night:
Sure missed you...now, let's do 3 club gigs this week... pic.twitter.com/GnbP4EU6XG

Two days prior, the account also dropped this hint:
Michael and Freddy think it would be a shame to just do one show while we're in the UK... pic.twitter.com/zvJur4SqaY — Foo Fighters (@foofighters) September 5, 2014
The band has been very busy doing other things besides tweeting. A new album – Sonic Highways – is due out Nov. 3, and they recently set a date for their crowdsourced show in Richmond, Va.
A fan named Andrew Goldin originally began funding an unauthorized, unscheduled Foo concert in March.
"Rather than waiting, and waiting and waiting for our favorite band to come to us, we're making it happen," Goldin said in his campaign's mission statement. "We're selling tix to a Foo Fighters concert that the band doesn't have scheduled yet in the hopes that they'll come to our great city and play a show. Then if the band comes we all rock out. If they don't come, everyone gets their money back. Every cent. So buy your tix, spread the word, and let's make some rock-n-roll history."
The band hadn't been to Richmond since 1998, but they got wind of the movement and decided to propose a solution (Sept. 17 at Richmond's National Theatre). Here are the current tour dates with tickets still available:
09/14: London, UK @ Invictus Games Closing Concert
10/26: Las Vegas, NV @ Life is Beautiful
11/02: New Orleans, LA @ Voodoo Festival
12/10: Cape Town, South Africa @ Cape Town Stadium
12/13: Johannesburg, South Africa @ FNB Stadium
