*Christopher Walken voice* Foo Fightas are back! Dave Grohl and co. have announced their return with a 2026 Foo Fighters North American tour. Queens of the Stone Age will be direct support for all gigs except for the show in Fargo, North Dakota [insert joke about not wanting to get tossed into a wood chipper here], with Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away also joining the run of late-summer dates.
In addition to the news about the concerts, Foo Fighters have also shared a new single entitled “Asking for a Friend”—which is “one of many songs to come,” according to Grohl. The guitar melody is dark and brooding, and Grohl implores his subject to save their promises “until we meet again.” Guitars get loud, drums get explosive, rock music is played.
Check out “Asking for a Friend” and the 2026 tour schedule below (you can visit the band’s official website for ticket information and more), and read on for Grohl’s full statement on the updates.
Dave Grohl on “Asking for a Friend” and Foo Fighters’ 2026 tour:
Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. 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 the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.
What better way to share the view than with close friends?
In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.
Take cover.
But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. ‘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.
One of many songs to come…
