It’s time to start training for a rock and roll marathon: Foo Fighters have confirmed their first stadium tour since the massive 2023-2024 “Everything or Nothing at All” run that sold out football and baseball fields the world over.

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 / arena spectaculars to a total of 12 North American cities, concluding in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 26, at Allegiant Stadium. Queens of the Stone Age will be direct support.

Today sees the release of the new Foo Fighters song “Asking for a Friend.” Featuring a darker melodic approach than the hit “Today’s Song,” “Asking for a Friend” ratchets up the energy and intensity in favor of hypnotic opening verses that build and explode into refrains of “What is real? I’m asking for a friend …”

By the time the song’s final breakneck rave-up screeches to a halt with a throat-shredding “Or is this the end?” Foo Fighter 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 in a post that read in part:

“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.

Thirty-three 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 …”
