Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett<\/strong> has just announced a full UK tour in March 2024, which concludes with a show at London\u2019s Electric Ballroom on the 27th. Tickets go on sale Friday October 27th<\/sup> at 10am UK and will be available here<\/a>.
 
Shiflett says, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to get back over to the UK and Ireland for another run of dates! The tour we did last spring was amazing, the best we\u2019ve ever done. The crowds were wild so I can\u2019t wait to see what it\u2019ll be like touring now that the record is out.We\u2019ll definitely mix in a few more new tunes in addition to the older stuff.\u201d<\/em>
 
The announcement follows the release of Shiflett\u2019s stellar third album Lost At Sea<\/em><\/a>, which is out now on Snakefarm in the UK and features the latest single \u2018Weigh You Down<\/a>\u2019. Originally inspired by Shiflett\u2019s wife\u2019s birthday, the song turned into a baritone guitar-driven rocker; upbeat and sweet.
 
\u201cWe all get a little funny when those numbers start getting too big but this was me trying to remind her that the number doesn\u2019t matter and we have so much to be grateful and happy for, which she of course already knew,\u201d<\/em> Shiflett laughs. \u201cOn the musical side, I loved putting the slide guitar solo together. I don\u2019t play much slide and always have to think it through a lot and work it out, but I love the end results.\u201d<\/em>
 
Revered as a modern-day guitar hero, the new album sees Shiflett splice up alt-country rock and guitar-driven grit with sharp songwriting and Americana undertones. Most of the new album was recorded in Nashville, working with his producer and collaborator Jaren Johnston<\/strong> (frontman of The Cadillac Three and songwriter behind a dozen No.1 country hits) and features a stellar cast of Americana all-stars.
 
Among them were fellow guitar slingers Charlie Worsham, Tom Bukovac, and Nathan Keeterle<\/strong>, all three of whom laced the record with fiery fretwork. He also teamed up with a number of co-writers, partnering with Kendell Marvel, Cody Jinks,<\/strong> and others to fill Lost at Sea<\/em> with storylines that pack as hefty a punch as the music itself.
 
Shiflett also recently launched a new video series called \u2018Shred with Shifty\u2019 where he interviews some of the guitar greats, delving into their most iconic solos and the art of playing guitar. Guests so far have included the likes of Nile Rogers<\/strong>, Alex Lifeson<\/strong> (Rush), 
Rivers Cuomo<\/strong> (Weezer), Brad Paisley<\/strong> and more. Head to Volume.com\/shifty<\/a> for more info.
 
Although he\u2019s used to playing big arenas globally, the punk veteran and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee\u2019s previous UK tour was hugely triumphant; his transition to more intimate venues was seamless, resulting in equal magic, showing that being a great frontman is just another part of his already impressive CV.
