Chickenfoot is announcing special limited north american shows in May. We'll be putting the foot down in Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Check http://www.chickenfoot.us/ for dates and details. Presale tickets will be available to members of the Official Chickenfoot Fan Club

:thumb: Toronto on May 24 in a little club we like to call The Mod Club. This is a very intimate location. I just joined the fan club to make sure my body occupies some space on the 24th.

May 22nd in Chicago - I am already there!

Wow! I hope you brought a lawn chair and a cooler. :D

Before I fork over thr $40 to join, wasn't there something about free membership to those of us on the mailing list?....

hopefully that list of North American dates will expand to include Houston.

TORONTO!!!!!!!:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

OH......YEAH!!!!!!:bounce:

No Detroit? That's fucked!

No Detroit? That's fucked!

Yea...at least for round one. But you know Detroit is gonna get their show( maybe two in the state)

Looks like late summer/early fall for Dallas and St Louis too. I hope they show some love for some of the smaller markets. We have electricity too.

They are calling it a "road test" so I am sure this is just the warm-up round. After that they are off to Europe and then my guess is back to North America for a more robust tour schedule (with Toronto or somewhere close as a stop again I hope.) :D

I would love to have some info on how they're gonna work the CF Fanclub pre-sale. The website says tix go on sale on the 17th, I hope we get info soon on that.

Holy shit, Boston actually got a date. I thought for sure this would mostly be on the west coast.

Chxfoot at the Roxy. Classic LA club venue. I'm so there it's yesterday. :bounce:

BTW, the album's gonna be available for pre-sale through Best Buy on April 19th.

It is truly a great thing to see the gradual return to vinyl occuring among many artists. Green Day's re-releasing their entire catalogue on vinyl throughout this year, many new projects are coming out in vinyl, VH 1 and The Police's Zenyatta Mondatta were just cut in 180gm new vinyl re-releases, Rush's last album SnA was offered in vinyl...the Foot in vinyl.

Warms this old weathered heart, it does.

right there with you. :thumb:

What kind of turntable do you have?

this may sound really dumb but what exactly does this mean? you can get it on the 19th?

I have a Rega jury-rigged to my Bose system.

It, uh, rips.

this may sound really dumb but what exactly does this mean? you can get it on the 19th?

Nah. It just means you can order it then. Still have to wait until June. :(

I see.......thanks.

So the point of this would be that pre-order folk would get it slightly before the masses could obtain it??

So the point of this would be that pre-order folk would get it slightly before the masses could obtain it??

I don't think so. Estimated delivery is a day or two after. Still think the fastest way to get it is at midnight EST on June 7th via iTunes, and after that, going to your local Best Buy the next day.

It's just a pre-order option, much like Amazon offers. Didn't mean to get people's hopes up that it could be had sooner. Apologies.

Holy shit, Boston actually got a date. I thought for sure this would mostly be on the west coast.

See you there! :thumb:

May 14th in Seattle...

That's my birthday... I may just know what I want for my B-day now...

Cool!! Will be wild to see them without hearing all of the CD yet. lol I wonder how much the VIP tix will go for...

May 29,TLA Philadelphia, PA (http://www.livenation.com/venue/theater-of-the-living-arts-tickets#)

Buckethead is there on the 31st..hm...:)

VS, how do u plan to be able to get a ticket for the Roxy, that's a small club (even my band played there!)?? I would expect the tickets to be gone in a nano second.
Is it a fan club only deal? Even that will go fast, if u consider that probably half the venue will be filled by industry ppl, it being in LA.

I'll manage to find a pair of tickets. :)

Park West can hold 900 people. I'm nervous as hell!

As long as you can tolerate the lyrics... :rolleyes: j/k

Some whiny Sammy hater has to mention lyrical content in every fucking CF thread, figured I'd get it over with now... :smokin:

Anyone know how big the NY venue is, and if its any good? I've never been to the filmore @ Irving Plaza. Any Thoughts?

Just got the email a little bit ago, I got a pair for Chicago!!!
Oh yeah!!!!

Got mine for Halifax :)

Just got the email a little bit ago, I got a pair for Chicago!!!

Oh maaaan! I'm so bummed! I want to go to that show so bad. I guess I didn't get in. Will probably be impossible to get tix Friday.

I don't care about the other bands much, but Cheap Trick is still rumoured to be added.

I'm confused... get in?... to the fan club?...

I'm confused... get in?... to the fan club?...

No I wasn't picked for the Club 1013 pre-sale for Chicago on May 22nd. Now if I don't get the Chickenfoot presale I'm shut out of tix for the show cause there's no chance in hell in getting tix on Friday - it would be like winning the lottery.

I really, really, want to go to this show! :(

I gotcha. I didn't know there was a pre-sale for Club 1013 too... A pre-pre-sale!

Seattle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first show !!!!!!!! I am there ! Are you kidding me........... first show !!! I get to witness history !! :p

I don't care about the other bands much, but Cheap Trick is still rumoured to be added.

Are you kidding me? I would love that line up! Sloan is one of my favorites. Our Lady Peace is...well..meh.. And Finger Eleven is Finger Eleven. But throw Chickenfoot into the mix and you have a pretty good show there. Cheap Trick would be a great addition though.

I agree man! You going? I got the email after getting in from work. It says to click on the presale link and enter the code as a fanclub member to get presale tix but there are no presale links on any city to be found. Have they not gone on sale yet or did I miss out while at work? lol

ah nvm..I see the presale date and time. 2 early for a link:P wow going to be a mad rush to get these online. Pre sale goes onsale online 1 day before normal sales it appears. Good luck to all getting your tickets!! Are these the VIP's or do you have a choice? Non-fanclub get a shot at VIP also eh? Reg tix looks like $50 US.. Vip tix? anyone know details?

Premium Ticket Package $225 :eek:

Ya dick :yell:

I'm not coughing up the $40 for the fan club membership just to do the presale.

That was my initial thought and then I had a realization: If someone had told me I could buy a ticket to see Chickenfoot in a small club for $90 I would jump at it. I have a feeling these are going to be tough tickets to get our hands on.

Can't believe more people aren't talking about their ticket scores! I personally will be seeing the Foot in Chicago, NY, and Philadelphia!

My wife was shocked that I wanted to go out east to see the in-laws in late May until she figured out what I was up to. :devil:

Can't wait! :headbang:

OK. I am here to vent a little bit. I am really excited about these warm-up shows for the same reason most people here are. Watching rock stars of this caliber at a small venue is always a great experience.

Now, I'll be trying to get tickets for the El Corazon show in Seattle on Saturday morning (since I can't afford to shell out $40 for a fanclub membership for the privilege of the presale). What really has me pissed is the fact that I just took a look at this week's Seattle Weekly and there is a full page Chickenfoot ad announcing this show. Why???? Is this really necessary???? El Corazon's capacity is about 800.

I really didn't think this show would be advertised like this since all the members of this band have a pretty big fanbase to begin with who would already be aware of what's going on with Chickenfoot and not want to miss out on the opportunity to see them in such small venues. Are they really concerned that it is not going to sell out?? Once again, I think the true fans are getting screwed. It was already gonna be difficult to score a pair of tickets, but now with the general public aware of this it's going to be close to impossible.

Is anyone else finding this show advertised like this in your respective market?

I know you know the deal with the camera's. Pic's will be expected from you. :)

I'm very surprised that they are not playing Casino Rama for the Toronto show. The Mod Club? Are they kidding? I can get more people in my backyard for a show. I'll be there if the date works but I'd so much prefer it be in a decent venue.

What was the price?

It was 82ish for each after the fees. I got confused, just normal tickets, but I'll live without the 8ball (although I want that 8 ball)

Landed my VIP packages today for the Roxy. I'm always a sucker for a real good time. :cool:

Chxfoot 8 Ball = sweet swag. :smokin:

Chickenfoot at the Fillmore in SF.......on a Sunday night.....my night off.....sounds fun......

why the fuck not?

Awesome man!

And later today, Boston.

The Mod Club? Are they kidding? I can get more people in my backyard for a show.

That's the whole point. They are the warm-up shows and what a better way to see them than in a small club. When they do the full-blown tour in the fall I am sure they will be larger venues (and I will probably be complaining because I couldn't get a seat close enough to the stage :D )

"OH...YEAH!!!!!" That was easy. 2 tickets to the Mod Club on the 24th of May!!! I feel better already. :D :headbang:

And...the security phrase I had to type in for ticketbastard was "Ultra agave" :D

what's the presale code??
mine won't work!

what's the presale code??

When you log into your fan club account on chickenfoot.us it will give you a unique code in the top right corner. Everyone gets a different code.

i did. it's not working.

pass it along.

got it.

edit

Yeah, I ended up figuring that if the tickets were $60, I'd buy them, so what the hell. Got mine.

My code didn't work at first either - I ended up copying and pasting it into the box - I wonder if it was case sensitive.

Took me forever to find that damn code on the tour page too, LOL.

And then, after I hit submit on the purchase, I got an error. I refreshed and the transaction went through, thank God.

Looking forward to this show... Upstairs is very small, so it should be a real treat. Now what do you think the setlist will be?

i'm in now - but i get this: " Sorry, no exact matches were found, but other tickets may still be available."
for 2 tix.
what the hell!

Keep trying! Did the same for me... 3x

Still can't get em'.

Sent an email to support. Unreal.

Aarghh! I broke down and signed up for the fan-club and managed to snag a couple of tickets for Seattle. Yes!!

Just didn't think I would have had much of a chance had I tried during the general sale given the fact that the promoter put out a full page ad in the Seattle Weekly.

At least the fan club membership includes a t-shirt.

T-shirts are $30-$40 alone at any "large" gig...

T-shirts are $30-$40 alone at any "large" gig...

Yeah, throwing the t-shirt in definitely makes me feel better about it. Cause it doesn't feel like the extra $40 was just for the privilege of participating in the presale. I just never buy into the whole fan club presale cause I usually score pretty good seats without having to pay the extra cash, but I think if I wanted in to this show it was kind of a necessity due to the size of the venue. And now I know what to wear.LOL.

I'm going to try and make up for it anyway by charging a little extra for an extra pair of U2 tickets that I have for the Vancouver show. I usually will sell extras at face value cause I don't like to feel like a scalper, but I'm going to make an exception this time only cause times are tough and the show is sold out. I don't think an extra $20 per ticket on top of face value is unreasonable.

I am sure most of you just got the email from Chickenfoot regarding the presales and the sell outs for the presale. Basically they are saying that because they are smaller venues there is a lot more demand than tickets so if you didn't get in for the tickets that were put aside for the presale then be sure to try for the public onsales.

Yea, I just got it.

You know looking at the cities on this 'road test', I believe these same towns/ markets will probably get hit again when the fall tour roll's around.

Absolutely. I think you are bang on. They would be crazy not to include them. When you test the waters and there is a feeding frenzy, you would be crazy not to come back to the same waters with a big ass fishin' pole!

Got my ticket today for Toronto. :bounce: :headbang:

Of course these markets will be hit again on the larger venue tour when they come back from Europe. This is just their club gig run - which I must admit, I'm pretty goddamned stoked about. I'll take a smaller club venue anyday over an arena, even with GA, which I generally can't stand, it's still a small club and everywhere in the house is a good POV.

I'd expect ChxFoot to hit ampitheaters and smaller indoor venues upon their return from across the pond, I think. 5,000 to 10,000 capacity venues. They're not big enough to sell out 20k arenas like Staples, unless they're co-billing with other acts, but they certainly will have the momentum to sell out smaller ampitheaters.

So the e-mail basically just stated the OBVIOUS. :p

I hope they also play a good dose of Van Halen and Chili Peppers. Would love to hear Satriani's interpretations.

I caught two of Sam's shows on the 24/365 tour. One in Tulsa and one in KC. I would guess both venues hold between two and three grand. These venues for the Road Test are even smaller??? F@*K me...that is gonna be out o' sight!!!

Jealous here guy's/gal's. :)

I'll be at the Philly gig for sure. I've never seen Satch live, so now is the perfect chance.

I love me some Vai, too but, these days, Joe is SO much more of a soulful player than Steve.

Gimme a call after the gig and tell me whatcha think...:headbang:

Did anyone here have any luck getting tickets during the general onsale this morning?

Looks like Chicago is sold out too.

Did anyone here have any luck getting tickets during the general onsale this morning?

no luck here....looks like I'll be waiting for those summer gigs to roll around

From Chickenfoot (Facebook)
Today at 10:30am
Beyond our expectations, the public onsales for the 9 Road Test shows sold out all tickets in record time. The band was blown away by your response and can't wait to take the show on the road!

Please remember that all shows require photo ID to enter the venue, so we advise you to NOT buy tickets from online ticket brokers.

Chickenfoot will be back in August and September to play a major North American tour and there will be sufficient tickets to meet your demands. Due to the size of the venues for these shows, we do not forsee any issues with presale availability.

Fans who joined the fan club and were unable to get a Road Test presale ticket, we hope you keep your membership in expectation of the upcoming tour announcement.

if you have any questions or concerns about your membership, please contact ORDERHELP@FANFIRE.COM.

The boys are in rehearsal this week, and we'll see you on the road!


As much as it pains me that I wasnt able to get tix for this quick enough.....:headbang: Long live The 'Foot!

Heard on the radio Friday that they will be playing Mohegan Sun arena in CT sometime in August. They expected tix to be in the $40.00 range.

Do you hear that loud banging noise? That's my head banging against the wall. I was out of the country for 10 days mostly without Internet access, I come home, log in and find out that the early tickets at the show at the Fillmore is sold out.

Stubhub time.

I guess this is a good place for this.

One thing....If the fall tour is indeed only two months long, that equals out to about thirty plus shows(minus travel days) I think they should skip the markets they hit in May. You guy's had your chance.

Radio Has Embraced The First Single, “Oh Yeah,” From the Band’s June 9th Self-Titled Debut CD



LOS ANGELES, CA, May 4th, 2009—Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, and Van Halen front man and bassist Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony have formed a new band called Chickenfoot. Tickets for the first nine road-test shows of the highly anticipated new group sold out in a matter of minutes. To meet fan demand, Chickenfoot are now planning a full length cross-country tour starting August 1 thru the end of September. Chickenfoot’s debut self-titled CD will be released on June 9th. More information on additional North American tour dates will be available shortly.

“Chickenfoot evolved from the four of us jamming together many times over the years for fun,” commented Hagar. “All of us live to play live music and we recognized that on stage we had the chemistry of a band. We are so glad that the fans apparently are just as stoked as we are.”

“We spent a lot of time together in the recording studio to make Chickenfoot live up to expectations,” said Satriani. “We really feel that we recorded a great album and now we are excited to take the show on the road and see how the fans react .”


Chickenfoot are playing a series of intimate venues beginning on May 14thin Seattle. The shows will conclude in Philadelphia on May 29th, with ticket prices throughout averaging $50 per show. Following the North American tour, Chickenfoot will head to Europe for four weeks of festivals and headline dates starting June 20th at the Nova Rock Festival in Austria.

The new album will be released through major retailers and digitally on June 9th and will be available for pre-sale through Best Buy beginning April 19th at www.bestbuy.com/chickenfoot.

“The album is an 11-song slab of raging rock,” says writer Joe Bosso of Guitar World magazine.

The band’s first single, “Oh Yeah,” has been embraced by radio. It is in the Top 10 on 30 rock radio stations after three weeks of play. It is #1 at eight stations and was the second most added in the first week of release.

LOL. Come on, man. They're not going to skip New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, their biggest markets. Anyone's biggest markets. You can probably count on a Vegas date too.


Move outta the sticks, bro. ;)

They'd better not skip Chicago, you know, considering I couldn't get tickets for the 5/22 date :(

Damn dude...you big city folk's sure are greedy. They're already playing those markets. :)

Sam's not gonna skip St. Louis and Dallas. They love him long time. While they're in the vicinity they might as well swing by Tulsa.

Living on Tulsa Time.....

No, they're clubbing those markets. It's a limited engagement 'road test.' They use that term specifically so that folks in those markets know they're coming back around. They're not taking full advantage of population density and demand and playing larger venues for more money...yet. But they will. :)

Not greedy, just a matter of demographics and geography. You can't expect them to play Fargo over Vegas. Touring's a business. That's why some folk in the country have to travel to hit shows.

Instead of expecting them to play Tulsa, you could plan on taking a road trip to Texas. Maybe Kansas City.

...so does this mean that we can infer that Sam's birthday bash would still be a go if CF's "cross-county tour" is thru September?


'Cuz I actually have Oct. 10-16 free this year for the first time in the history of ever. Was gonna bum around the Caribbean for a week's vaca...but now, Land's End may have to be the destination...

Heard on the radio Friday that they will be playing Mohegan Sun arena in CT sometime in August. They expected tix to be in the $40.00 range.


As much as I dislike going to Mohegan Sun, I'd like to see these guys.

I have not heard that the B-Day Bash is not happening this year. You might wanna keep checking over at Sam's place for that info.
