The Foo Fighters are hitting the road again — and this time, they’re going big. Dave Grohl and the band have officially announced a 2026 North American stadium tour, and they’re bringing along their longtime friends and rock heavyweights, Queens of the Stone Age, as special guests.
This marks the Foo Fighters’ first full-scale stadium trek since 2024’s “Everything or Nothing at All” tour — and fans couldn’t be more excited.
A Reunion Fans Have Been Waiting For
The Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age share a deep history that stretches back decades. Dave Grohl famously played drums on QOTSA’s landmark album Songs for the Deaf, helping to define their gritty desert rock sound. Seeing these two powerhouse bands share the same bill again feels like a reunion that’s been a long time coming.
“We’ve always had this brotherhood,” Grohl said in a recent interview. “To be back on the road with Josh [Homme] and the guys again — it’s going to be loud, it’s going to be fun, and it’s going to be unforgettable.”
Tour Dates & Highlights
The “Take Cover” Stadium Tour kicks off in Toronto on August 4, 2026, and will roll through major cities including Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, and more. The run will also include several Canadian stops like Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Tickets go on sale Friday, October 31, at 10 a.m. local time, with early access available for Foo Fighters fan club subscribers.
A New Chapter for the Foos
The announcement comes alongside a brand-new single, “Asking for a Friend,” giving fans a taste of what’s next musically for the band. Since the passing of beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022, the Foo Fighters have entered a new era — one marked by reflection, resilience, and reinvention.
Now joined by drummer Ilan Rubin, the band has continued to evolve while staying true to their signature sound — a mix of power, emotion, and pure rock energy.
Queens of the Stone Age Bring the Heat
Queens of the Stone Age are no strangers to stadium stages, either. Following their acclaimed 2023 album In Times New Roman, Josh Homme and company have been reclaiming their place as one of the boldest and most inventive acts in modern rock. Their heavy grooves and hypnotic stage presence will make the perfect counterpoint to Foo Fighters’ anthemic firepower.
What Fans Can Expect
Expect an all-out rock spectacle — massive light shows, towering visuals, and sing-along anthems like “Everlong,” “Best of You,” and “The Pretender.” QOTSA’s darker, riff-driven energy will complement the Foos perfectly, creating a night of dynamic contrasts and unforgettable moments.
With both bands teasing fresh material, there’s every chance fans will hear new songs debuted live before they hit streaming platforms.
Why This Tour Matters
For longtime fans, this tour isn’t just another string of dates — it’s a celebration of endurance and friendship. Foo Fighters continue to prove that rock music can still pack stadiums, while Queens of the Stone Age’s inclusion shows how deep the roots of modern rock run.
As Grohl put it best: “We started this band to make loud, emotional music that meant something. Twenty-plus years later, it still does.”
Summary:
Foo Fighters’ 2026 Take Cover Stadium Tour with Queens of the Stone Age promises one of the biggest live rock events of the decade — a fusion of legacy, passion, and pure live energy that fans won’t want to miss.
