Could the Foo Fighters be bringing their powerhouse live show back to Toronto? Fans are buzzing after a major Toronto venue dropped a mysterious hint suggesting that Dave Grohl and company could soon announce a Canadian tour stop, possibly as part of a larger 2025 world tour.
While the band has yet to confirm any new dates, recent online activity and strategic scheduling gaps have fueled speculation that Toronto will be among the first cities announced.
A Cryptic Clue From A Familiar Stage
Earlier this week, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, a venue the Foo Fighters have headlined multiple times, posted a simple but loaded message on social media:
“Big rock announcement coming soon Stay tuned, Toronto!”
The post quickly sent fans into overdrive, with comments overflowing with Foo Fighters references and song lyrics. Several users pointed out that the timing coincides perfectly with the band’s upcoming single, “Asking For a Friend”, due out October 23, sparking theories that a tour announcement could follow.
Adding to the intrigue, the venue’s event calendar shows several unbooked dates in late spring 2026, which line up with the Foo Fighters’ usual touring rhythm.
Why Toronto Makes Sense
Toronto has always been a special stop for the Foo Fighters. The band last played the city in 2018 at the Rogers Centre, delivering a three-hour set packed with hits from across their career. Before that, they performed multiple sold-out nights at Scotiabank Arena and Molson Amphitheatre, solidifying their reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in Canada.
Given the band’s consistent fanbase north of the border, and the city’s reputation as a must-play market for major tours, Toronto would be a natural choice for an early stop on a new global trek.
“Toronto crowds are some of the loudest and most loyal anywhere,” one concert insider told Far Out Magazine. “If the Foos are gearing up for another tour, you can bet this city’s on the shortlist.”
Signs Point To A Bigger Announcement
The timing of the tease couldn’t be more telling. With the band’s new single “Asking For a Friend” dropping October 23, industry watchers believe that a tour reveal could follow within days, possibly tied to a larger rollout of 2026 live dates.
The Foo Fighters have a long history of coupling new music with massive touring cycles. Their 2023 album But Here We Are sparked a triumphant world tour that included festival headlining slots and sold-out arenas across the U.S., Europe, and South America.
Now, with new drummer Ilan Rubin on board and fresh material in the pipeline, the stage seems set for another major live run.
What Fans Should Watch For
- Official confirmation: Keep tabs on, and the band’s social channels for sudden announcements, the Foo Fighters are known for dropping news without warning.
- Venue activity: Watch Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, Budweiser Stage, and Rogers Centre for “mysterious” event placeholders or cleared dates.
- Presales: Historically, the band offers early access through the Foo Fighters Fan Club, so signing up could give fans the first shot at tickets.
The Bottom Line
No official word yet, but the signs are too loud to ignore. With a new single days away and a Toronto venue openly teasing a “big rock announcement,” it feels like the Foo Fighters are gearing up to hit the road once again.
If history is any guide, Toronto will be one of the first cities to feel the thunder when Dave Grohl and the band unleash their next chapter of live rock dominance.
“It’s times like these you learn to rock again…”, and Toronto may be about to get its turn.
