The Rock giants Foo Fighters have officially announced their return to U.S. stadiums for summer 2026, alongside the release of a brand-new single, “Asking for a Friend.” The announcement confirms what fans have been hoping for, a new era of Foo Fighters energy, music, and massive live shows.
A Stadium Tour For The Ages
Kicking off in August 2026, the Foo Fighters’ latest trek will see them headline some of North America’s biggest venues, including Detroit’s Ford Field, Chicago’s Soldier Field, and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, before wrapping in the fall.
The 2026 Stadium Tour marks the band’s most ambitious North American run since 2024’s Everything or Nothing at All tour, and promises to bring their signature mix of thunderous rock, heartfelt emotion, and unrelenting showmanship back to the grandest stages.
Confirmed Tour Dates (so far):
- Aug 6, 2026 — Ford Field, Detroit, MI
- Aug 8, 2026 — Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
- Aug 13, 2026 — Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
- More dates to be announced soon
The band will be joined by Queens of the Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away on select dates, adding to what’s already shaping up to be one of the most explosive live rock packages of the year.
Tickets go on sale October 31, 2025, with presales beginning earlier that week via the band’s official site: foofighters.com/tour
The New Single: “Asking For A Friend”
Alongside the tour announcement comes a brand-new single, “Asking for a Friend,” a stirring, anthemic track that blends the Foo Fighters’ signature grit with introspective lyrics and soaring melodies.
Frontman Dave Grohl described the song as “a message of hope for anyone who’s ever waited in the dark for the light to break through.”
Built around driving guitars, Grohl’s impassioned vocals, and an explosive chorus, “Asking for a Friend” recalls the band’s classic sound while venturing into deeper emotional territory, a reflection of resilience, loss, and connection.
The track is available now on all streaming platforms and hints that a new album could be on the horizon.
A Return To Stadium Glory
After an emotional few years marked by tragedy and rebirth, Foo Fighters’ 2026 tour represents both a victory lap and a new beginning. With Josh Freese on drums and the rest of the band, Grohl, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee, firing on all cylinders, fans can expect high-octane performances packed with career-spanning hits, surprises, and heartfelt tributes.
From “Everlong” and “My Hero” to “The Pretender” and “Rescue Me,” every show promises to be a celebration of one of rock’s most beloved bands continuing to evolve while staying true to their roots.
