Editorial recommendations
The rock band from Seattle last played a major tour in 2023/2024. For the next twelve shows they have brought in Queens of the Stone Age as support, who will be on stage at almost all dates.
It will be Foo Fighters’ first stadium tour since their “Everything or Nothing at All” tour from 2023 to 2024. It follows their recent string of surprise concerts in US clubs as well as arena shows abroad.
“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded why we love and are forever committed to this Foo Fighters cause,” Dave Grohl said in a press statement.
“From reuniting as a band and looking at a list of songs spanning 30 years that we wanted to revive, to recomposing versions with the incredible support of the one and only Ilan Rubin on drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans to whom we give everything we have – regardless of the size of the venue – because without them we wouldn’t be here: we have the most solid core. And finally the sun is setting Horizon opens,” he continued.
