Foo Fighters premiere new single, announce 2026 tour: Details

WATCH: Foo Fighters welcome late drummer Taylor Hawkins' son Shane to play onstage

The Foo Fighters have a treat for fans.

The band has not only released their previously teased new single, "Asking for a Friend," they've also announced a 2026 North American stadium tour with support from Queens of the Stone Age.

The outing, dubbed the Take Cover tour, launches Aug. 4 in Toronto, and concludes Sept. 26 in Las Vegas.

Fans can register for access to the presale now through Sunday at 11:59 p.m. PT. Those who've signed up for the Foo Fighters newsletter can grab tickets starting Oct. 28 at 10 a.m. local time, while a presale for those not signed up for the newsletter begins Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. local time.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit FooFighters.com.

The tour will mark the band's first extended live trek in the U.S. since 2024. Since then, they've gone through a tumultuous year between the Dave Grohl infidelity scandal and the sudden dismissal of drummer Josh Freese.

The band made their live return in September with a brief run of U.S. pop-up dates and a tour of Asia, which marked their first performances with new drummer Ilan Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails.

As for "Asking for a Friend," it marks the second new Foo Fighters single of 2025, following July's "Today Song."

"'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," Grohl said in a statement. "Searching for 'proof' when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again."

He added, "One of many songs to come…."

The most recent Foo Fighters album is 2023's "But Here We Are."
