Foo Fighters have made good on their promise. After visiting Tasmania for a one-off show in Launceston next month, the American rockers will return to Australia later this year and into next year.
Beginning at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Thursday, 5 November, the tour will continue with stadium shows in Townsville, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Adelaide, before stopping in Christchurch and Auckland, wrapping up the tour at Perth’s HBF Park on Monday, 25 January 2027.
The tour features a stacked roster of homegrown talent opening all shows. Full Flower Moon Band will open the shows in Brisbane and Townsville, where they’ll be joined by Mini Skirt and Downgirl, respectively. Other special guests on the tour include The Belair Lip Bombs, The Buoys, C.O.F.F.I.N., Spooky Eyes, the Southern River Band, Last Quokka, and others.
There’s a lot going on, and Foo Fighters are asking punters to “take cover.” Read on to find out about the dates and venues, support acts per show, and ticketing details.
