April 21, 2009

CHICKENFOOT, the new rock supergroup comprised of drummer Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS),bassist Michael Anthony (ex-VAN HALEN),guitarist Joe Satriani and vocalist Sammy Hagar (ex-VAN HALEN),has issued the following update:

"Beyond our expectations, the public on-sales for the nine 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 pre-sale 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 [email protected].

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

Playing a series of intimate venues, this initial tour is set to launch on May 14 at the El Corazon in Seattle, Washington. The shows will conclude at TLA in Philadelphia, PA on May 29, with tickets prices throughout averaging $50 per show.
