It will be Foo Fighters’ first stadium tour since their “Everything or Nothing at All” jaunt of 2023-2024, and follow their recent run of surprise US club dates and overseas arena shows.
“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” Grohl said in a press statement. “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.”
The tour announcement arrives with a new Foo Fighters song, “Asking for a Friend.” The hard-charging mid-tempo track features a decidedly darker melodic approach than the band’s most recent single, “Today’s Song,” building on Grohl’s impassioned refrains of “What is real? I’m asking for a friend…” Listen to it below.
“‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear,” Grohl said of the new song. “Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.”
Earlier this month, the band released a new live album, Foo Fighters – Are Playing Where ??? Vol. 1, exclusive to Bandcamp.
