Foo Fighters Announce 2026 World Tour — Dates and Cities Revealed

The Foo Fighters are officially hitting the road again — and not just for another tour, but for what many are already calling their most ambitious global run yet. Early this morning, the band dropped the massive announcement that the Foo Fighters 2026 World Tour is finally happening, complete with a sweeping list of dates, cities, and venues that span North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia. For fans who have waited patiently for a new full-scale tour following the band’s string of festival headliners and one-off events, this is the moment they’ve been craving.

From Dave Grohl’s unmistakable roar to the band’s signature guitar-driven chaos, the Foo Fighters promise a run filled with explosive energy, emotional depth, and stadium-shaking performances rooted in their nearly three decades of rock dominance. And if the teaser shared with the announcement is any indication—flashing images of roaring crowds, backstage mayhem, and the band ripping through new and classic songs—this world tour is shaping up to be a historic one.

A Long-Awaited Return to Global Touring

While Foo Fighters have remained incredibly active through 2024 and 2025—performing at Amazon Music Live, headlining major festivals, and even being featured in documentaries and streaming specials—the band had yet to launch a true globe-spanning tour in recent years. Their 2023–2024 touring cycle was largely focused on North American arenas and select European appearances.

The 2026 World Tour marks the first time the band will embark on a full, multi-continent run since before the pandemic. Insiders say Grohl and the band wanted to craft something more epic and emotionally charged than anything they’ve done recently, especially after years of reinvention, new music, and healing.

According to their official announcement video, the 2026 tour is built around the theme of connection—between band and fans, between the past and the present, and between the global Foo Fighters community that has kept the band’s fire alive for nearly 30 years.

New Music Expected to Take Center Stage

While the band has yet to confirm whether a new album is arriving in 2026, the announcement hints heavily at new material being performed on this tour. Fans eagle-eyed enough to freeze-frame certain moments of the promo noticed what appear to be track titles scribbled on a whiteboard in the studio, including phrases like “Dark Parade,” “Runner in the Fire,” and “Unbreakable.”

If the Foo Fighters indeed debut new songs on stage, this tour could double as the unofficial launch of their next musical era. Dave Grohl has also teased in recent interviews that he’s been writing “the most personal songs I’ve worked on in years.” Whether that means a surprise album drop or just fresh material for the setlist remains to be seen, but excitement is already skyrocketing.

What Fans Can Expect on the Road

Foo Fighters are known for marathon-length concerts, often lasting well over two hours, mixing hits with deep cuts, covers, jam sessions, and Grohl’s famously hilarious on-stage banter. But this tour plans to elevate the live experience further.

Sources close to the production say the 2026 tour will include:

• A completely redesigned stage layout
• A 360-degree rotating lighting system
• Moments where the band moves to a smaller “B-stage” to play acoustic versions of fan favorites
• Visual tributes honoring the band’s history
• A special segment spotlighting late drummer Taylor Hawkins

Grohl has made clear in past interviews that honoring Hawkins is not about sorrow, but celebration. Expect this segment to be emotional, powerful, and full of love.

Massive Demand Already Building

Immediately after the announcement, social media exploded with excitement. The band trended globally within minutes, with fans from every continent sharing their tour-prep playlists, travel plans, and early predictions for the setlist.

Industry analysts are expecting extremely high demand, noting that Foo Fighters remain one of the few rock acts capable of selling out stadiums worldwide with ease. Several dates—particularly Los Angeles, New York, London, Berlin, and Tokyo—are expected to sell out instantly.

Presale codes have already begun circulating among fan club members, while general ticket sales are set to open next week.

Dave Grohl’s Message to Fans

In a short video posted after the announcement, Dave Grohl said:

“We’ve been waiting for the right time to bring everyone together again. These shows aren’t just concerts—they’re reunions. Let’s make 2026 a year none of us will ever forget.”

And judging by the scale of the tour, the emotion behind the band’s message, and the excitement sweeping through the fan base, it already feels like something historic is about to unfold.
