Foo Fighters are returning to the stage in 2026 with several dates across North America. The news follows the band’s surprise club gigs across America, culminating in their pay-what-you-can EP, Foo Fighters Are Playing Where ???? Vol. 1, and is their first major tour since their 2023/2024 Everything or Nothing at All run. The 12-date headliner will begin on Aug. 4 in Toronto at Rogers Stadium and will hit venues in Nashville, Detroit, Chicago, and many others.
“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing,” Dave Grohl says. “From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.”

Support for the tour comes from Queens of the Stone Age, a band Foo Fighters have history with, as well as Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away. “[QOTSA] were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer,” Grohl explains. “Thirty-three years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh [Homme]. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together.”
Coinciding with the announcement is “Asking for a Friend,” a track that Grohl describes as “a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.”
The general sale for tickets happens on Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. local time. Check out the band’s new single, “Asking for a Friend,” and the 2026 tour dates below.
