BREAKING: Dave Grohl Officially Announces 2026 Tour — “Stay With Us: The Dave Grohl Reunion Tour 2026” — An Emotional Revival Breathing New Life into the Timeless Spirit of Country Music
In a stunning and heartfelt announcement that has sent shockwaves across the music world, Dave Grohl — the legendary frontman of Foo Fighters and former Nirvana drummer — has officially unveiled his newest and most unexpected project yet: “Stay With Us: The Dave Grohl Reunion Tour 2026.” This tour marks Grohl’s bold step into the world of country and Americana, a deeply personal exploration of storytelling, redemption, and connection.
After decades of defining rock music with explosive riffs and anthemic choruses, Grohl is returning with something far more intimate — a tribute to his roots, his family, and the enduring spirit of American songwriting. Fans and critics alike are calling this his most emotional endeavor since the early days of the Foo Fighters.
A New Chapter: Grohl’s Country Awakening
“This isn’t about leaving rock behind,” Grohl said during the official press conference in Nashville, Tennessee. “It’s about going back to where all music begins — with stories, emotion, and soul.”
For years, Grohl has hinted at his admiration for classic country legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Kris Kristofferson. His 2026 project fuses that vintage storytelling with the raw honesty he’s always championed. The result: a sound that blends acoustic warmth, folk-inspired melodies, and the heartfelt vulnerability of country music with Grohl’s unmistakable grit.
“Stay With Us,” also the name of his forthcoming solo country album, represents both a musical reunion and an emotional one. “The songs came from a place of loss and rediscovery,” Grohl said. “It’s about holding on to the people and moments that matter — even when life moves too fast.”
The Reunion Behind the Name
While the term “Reunion” might sound like a Foo Fighters comeback, Grohl explained that it’s something broader — a reunion of music, memory, and humanity. He revealed that several tracks feature collaborations with past friends and musical heroes, including rumored appearances by Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, and Sheryl Crow.
Grohl also shared that the tour will honor late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, whose passing in 2022 deeply affected him and reshaped his artistic path. “Every song I write now has a little bit of Taylor in it,” he said quietly. “This tour is my way of keeping that fire alive — with love, not pain.”

A Tour Rooted in Emotion
Unlike his past high-octane tours, Grohl says “Stay With Us” will focus on connection — smaller venues, personal storytelling, and shared moments between artist and audience.
“I want these shows to feel like we’re sitting around a fire together,” he told Rolling Stone. “Just guitars, voices, and real stories. No walls between us.”
Each concert will feature a carefully curated setlist blending new country-inspired material with stripped-down versions of Foo Fighters and Nirvana classics, such as “Everlong,” “Times Like These,” and “My Hero,” reimagined with slide guitar and harmonica.
Grohl also revealed plans for an accompanying documentary, directed by long-time collaborator James Moll, chronicling the making of the album and the emotional journey that led him to this reinvention.
Fans React: “Dave Just Saved Country Music”
Within minutes of the announcement, social media erupted with excitement. The hashtag #StayWithUsTour2026 began trending globally as fans celebrated Grohl’s unexpected venture into country.
“Dave Grohl just did what no one expected — and that’s why we love him,” one fan posted.
“Rock, country, doesn’t matter. The man bleeds music,” another wrote.
Country icons have also voiced their support. Chris Stapleton tweeted, “There’s no one I’d rather share a stage with. Welcome home, brother.” Meanwhile, Brandi Carlile posted a photo of her and Grohl in the studio, captioning it, “You’re not ready for this.”
The Spirit of a Musician Who Never Stops Giving
For Dave Grohl, “Stay With Us” isn’t just a tour — it’s a message. After years of personal loss, world tours, and reinvention, he’s choosing to embrace a quieter kind of power: vulnerability.
“Music has always been about bringing people together,” he said. “That’s what this tour is — not a goodbye, not a comeback, but a reunion. A reunion with life.”
Tickets for “Stay With Us: The Dave Grohl Reunion Tour 2026” go on sale Friday, November 1, 2025, via Grohl’s official website and major ticketing platforms. VIP “Fireside Experience” packages will offer fans exclusive acoustic performances, signed memorabilia, and meet-and-greets with Grohl himself.
As 2026 approaches, one thing is clear: Dave Grohl is far from done writing his story. With this new chapter, he reminds the world that the greatest rock stars don’t just make noise — they make meaning.
“Stay With Us” — an invitation, a promise, and perhaps, a healing song for us all.
