Time to start training for your local rock and roll marathon as Foo Fighters have confirmed their first stadium tour since the massive 2023 to 2024 Everything or Nothing at All run that sold out football and baseball fields the world over. Kicking off Aug. 4 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, the new tour will see Foo Fighters bringing the maximum volume euphoria of the band’s recent surprise U.S. club gigs and overseas outdoor and arena spectaculars to a total of 12 North American cities, concluding for now Sept. 26 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

Queens of the Stone Age will be direct support on all dates except Sept. 12 in Fargo, N.D. General on sale for all shows is Friday, Oct. 31, at 10 a.m. local time.

New single released alongside tour announcement

Today sees the release of new Foo Fighters song “Asking for a Friend.” Featuring a decidedly darker melodic approach than the smash hit Today’s Song, the new track ratchets up the energy and intensity of its predecessor in favor of hypnotic opening verses that build and explode into impassioned refrains asking what is real. By the time the song’s final breakneck rave up screeches to a halt, fans of all ages will find themselves joyfully bludgeoned into submission.

Dave Grohl wrote at length about inspiration for the new music and upcoming tour. Since their return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, they have been reminded of why they love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing, he explained.

Band reunites with renewed energy

From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with their amazing fans and blasting them with everything they’ve got no matter the size of the venue, they have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon, according to Grohl.

The frontman reflected on his connection with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. In 1992, he first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer.

Decades long friendship with Homme

Thirty three years later and with many miles behind them, Grohl has shared some of his life’s most rewarding musical moments with his dear friend. A lifelong bond goes far beyond the sound they’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that they can share this next chapter together with Queens of the Stone Age.

None of this would be complete without new music to share from the band. Asking for a Friend is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for proof when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again, Grohl noted. It’s one of many songs to come.

Tour spans August through September

The 2026 stadium tour includes stops in Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Nashville, Washington, Fargo, Regina, Edmonton, Vancouver and Las Vegas. The routing covers both U.S. and Canadian markets with a mix of NFL stadiums and other major venues.
