Red Hot Chili Peppers × Foo Fighters Announce Explosive 2026 World Tour — Dates and Cities Revealed
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the rock world, two of the most iconic and enduring bands of the past four decades — Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters — have officially announced a joint 2026 World Tour, marking one of the most ambitious and emotionally charged live events in modern music history. The news was confirmed through a synchronized announcement across both bands’ official platforms, sparking an online frenzy among millions of fans worldwide.
Set to kick off in March 2026, the tour — aptly titled “Fire & Fury” — will bring together two powerhouse acts who have each defined a generation of rock. This collaboration is more than just a tour; it’s a celebration of brotherhood, survival, and the unbreakable spirit of rock ’n’ roll.
A Historic Union of Titans
The Red Hot Chili Peppers, known for their intoxicating blend of funk, punk, and psychedelic rock, continue to thrive even after four decades in the industry. With Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, and the legendary John Frusciante back in full creative force, the band’s recent albums have reignited their reputation for bold experimentation and emotional depth. Their live performances remain among the most electrifying in the business — a whirlwind of energy, groove, and raw passion.
Meanwhile, the Foo Fighters — led by the indomitable Dave Grohl — stand as one of the few modern bands that can fill stadiums on name alone. Since the passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022, the band has channeled their grief into gratitude, honoring his memory while powering forward with renewed intensity. Their 2023 and 2024 tours proved that the Foo Fighters remain a cathartic live force, balancing heartbreak and hope through anthems that have defined the last 30 years of rock music.
Now, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters joining forces, fans are about to witness an unforgettable fusion of styles — a collision of California funk-rock fire and Seattle-born grunge grit.

Dave Grohl and Flea have reportedly co-written a brand-new track exclusive to the tour — a gritty, high-energy anthem that may debut during the first leg in Los Angeles.
Brotherhood Through Music
In interviews following the announcement, both bands expressed deep admiration for each other.
“We’ve shared stages, we’ve shared friends, and now we’re sharing this incredible journey,” said Dave Grohl. “This tour is about unity — two bands that grew up in different corners of rock coming together to celebrate what we love most: live music.”

Behind the scenes, both groups have described the tour as a chance to honor the legacy of their late drummer friends — Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) and Jack Irons and Hillel Slovak (original RHCP members). Expect tributes and emotional moments woven throughout the show, celebrating lives that helped shape rock history.
