The Foo Fighters Announce a New Tour, a New Song — and a Show in Cleveland That Fans Won’t Forget
In a thrilling announcement that has sent shockwaves through the rock music world, the Foo Fighters have officially unveiled plans for a massive new tour — complete with a brand-new single and a special stop in Cleveland, Ohio, that’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year. The band, known for their electrifying live performances and relentless passion for rock, are once again proving that their energy, creativity, and connection to fans remain as powerful as ever.
After months of speculation, frontman Dave Grohl took to social media early Thursday morning to confirm what fans had been hoping for: the Foo Fighters are hitting the road in 2025 for an all-new world tour that celebrates not just their latest music, but also their unbreakable bond with the audiences who’ve been rocking with them for nearly three decades.
A New Era Begins
The announcement was accompanied by the surprise release of a brand-new track titled “Runaway Mind,” a thunderous, emotionally charged anthem that perfectly captures the band’s signature blend of melody, grit, and meaning. Critics and fans alike have praised the song’s soaring chorus and raw lyricism, describing it as a return to the band’s classic sound — with a modern twist.
“‘Runaway Mind’ is about trying to find balance in a world that’s spinning faster than ever,” Grohl explained in a statement. “It’s about losing yourself and finding yourself again through music, friendship, and chaos. It felt like the right song to kick off a new chapter.”
The single is already climbing digital charts within hours of its release, fueling anticipation for what’s next. Sources close to the band confirm that this new track will be part of a forthcoming Foo Fighters album, rumored to arrive in early 2026.
The Tour: Power, Passion, and Pure Rock
The Foo Fighters’ 2025 North American Tour, titled “Runaway Road,” will kick off in late March and stretch through the summer, with over 30 cities announced in the first wave of dates. Each concert promises a mix of new material and timeless hits — from Everlong and The Pretender to Best of You and Learn to Fly.
But it’s the Cleveland show, set for June 14, 2025, at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, that’s generating the loudest buzz. Grohl, who has deep ties to the Midwest, hinted that the Cleveland stop will feature special guests and “a few surprises” designed exclusively for fans in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s hometown.
“Cleveland has always had this raw, unfiltered energy that makes it one of the best places in the world to play rock music,” Grohl said. “We wanted to do something different — something that captures that spirit.”
Fans are already speculating about potential collaborations or guest appearances, with some hoping for a reunion moment featuring musicians the band has worked with over the years.
Healing, Growth, and Moving Forward
This new era for the Foo Fighters comes on the heels of a deeply emotional period for the band. Following the tragic loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022, the group spent time regrouping, reflecting, and rediscovering their purpose. In 2023, they introduced Josh Freese as their new touring drummer and released the album But Here We Are, a deeply personal record that explored grief, healing, and hope.
Now, with “Runaway Mind” and the Runaway Road Tour, the Foo Fighters appear ready to embrace the next phase of their journey — one that honors their past while charging boldly into the future.
“It’s been a long road, and music is what keeps us together,” Grohl reflected in a recent interview. “Every show, every fan, every song — that’s what reminds us why we started doing this in the first place. We’re not slowing down. We’re still here, and we’re louder than ever.”
Fans React With Unstoppable Excitement
Within minutes of the announcement, social media exploded with excitement. Hashtags like #RunawayRoadTour and #FooFightersCleveland began trending across platforms, with fans expressing both nostalgia and anticipation. Many praised the band’s resilience and their ability to continually reinvent themselves while staying true to their roots.
“Foo Fighters saved rock once — and they’re about to do it again,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). Another added, “Dave Grohl is the beating heart of modern rock music. Cleveland is about to witness history.”
What to Expect
Concert insiders say that fans can expect an epic, high-production stage design, featuring cutting-edge visuals, pyrotechnics, and intimate acoustic moments. The setlist will likely span the band’s full career, celebrating classics alongside fresh material.
In addition to Cleveland, major stops on the tour include Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, New York City, and London, with more international dates expected to be announced in early 2025.
Exclusive VIP packages, early-access tickets, and limited-edition tour merchandise will be available starting October 30, with general ticket sales opening November 1 via the Foo Fighters’ official website.
The Legacy Continues
With over 30 million albums sold, 15 Grammy Awards, and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction under their belt, the Foo Fighters have cemented their status as one of the most important rock bands of the modern era. Yet, as this announcement proves, their story is far from over.
Their mix of heartfelt storytelling, relentless energy, and community spirit continues to inspire both longtime fans and a new generation of rock lovers. And if “Runaway Mind” is any indication of what’s coming, the next chapter of the Foo Fighters’ journey promises to be one of their most powerful yet.
As Dave Grohl himself put it during the band’s surprise livestream:
“Rock and roll isn’t about the past — it’s about right now. So let’s make it loud, make it count, and make it unforgettable.”
And for those lucky enough to score tickets to the Cleveland show, one thing’s for sure — it’s going to be a night that will echo in the city’s rock history for years to come.
