After announcing their return to Australia and New Zealand later this year for a run of arena shows, rock superstars Foo Fighters have today shared the title track from their upcoming 12th studio album Your Favorite Toy, out Friday 24 April (pre-order here).
The title track is a ripping arena rock song that’s both familiar and fresh, and one that fans of the Foo’s are gonna love. The guitar solo is straight out of the ‘80s and the keyboard adds another element to the pulsating rocker.
Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent and features ten tracks, including last year’s single, ‘Asking for a Friend’.
“‘Your Favorite To’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” commented Dave Grohl. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”
Foo Fighters’ upcoming nine-date stadium tour of Australia and New Zealand will see the band performing all their biggest hits, including ‘Everlong’, ‘The Pretender’, ‘Learning To Fly’, ‘Monkey Wrench’ and more, along with their new tracks ‘Your Favorite Toy’ and ‘Asking for a Friend’.
Joining the Foo’s on tour are a bunch of awesome special guests, including Full Flower Moon Band, The Belair Lip Bombs, Dick Move, Southern River Band and Adelaide’s own Kurralta Park.
Foo Fighters’ Take Cover Tour kicks off on Thursday 5 November 2026 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The band then plays shows at Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday 7 November 2026, Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Tuesday 10 November 2026, Newcastle’s McDonalds Jones Stadium on Thursday 12 November 2026, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Saturday 14 November 2026 and Adelaide’s Coopers Stadium on Tuesday 17 November 2026.
Heading home for the festive season, the Foos return in January for two shows in New Zealand at Christchurch’s One New Zealand Stadium on Tuesday 19 January 2027 and Auckland’s Western Springs Stadium on Friday 22 January 2027, before wrapping things up with a final blowout in Perth at HBF Park on Monday 25 January 2027.
