Rock royalty returns to Australia and New Zealand, with Foo Fighters announcing a nine-date stadium tour.
Fresh from a history-making sold-out performance in Tassie at Launceston’s UTAS Stadium, Dave Grohl and the lads have locked in a bunch of shows this November, followed by three more in January 2027.
Fans can expect to hear all their iconic hits such as ‘The Pretender’, ‘Breakout’, ‘This Is a Call’, ‘My Hero’, ‘All My Life’, ‘Everlong’, ‘The Sky Is A Neighborhood’, ‘Learn To Fly’, ‘Best Of You’, ‘Monkey Wrench’ and ‘Times Like These’, along with recent singles such as ‘Asking for a Friend’.
Known for their support of local bands, the Foos are touring with a host of 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.

There are few bands as popular as Foo Fighters. Born from the ashes of Nirvana by drummer-turned-guitarist and vocalist Dave Grohl, the band has dominated the charts for more than 30 years.
Beloved by Aussie fans, the Foos have sold over 1.8 million records and had nine of their albums go to #1 in Australia – making it the territory where they have scored the most #1 albums.
The current lineup of Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin is looking forward to getting back to Australia and New Zealand, with ticket demand sure to be high.
