“WE’RE COMING BACK!!!” the Foos wrote on social media alongside the new dates last night (Tuesday February 17).

The announcement comes shortly after Foo Fighters updated their website to feature snippets of new songs, likely from a forthcoming album.
Recent months have seen the band drop hints about the follow-up to 2023’s ‘But Here We Are’. Grohl confirmed that a new record was finished in January, with the Foos subsequently sharing some teasers online.
Last summer, the group marked their 30th anniversary by sharing a new single called ‘Today’s Song’. They later released the track ‘Asking For A Friend’ in October, saying it was “one of many songs to come”.
Foo Fighters are set to play in the UK and Europe this summer, including festival appearances at Mad Cool, Pinkpop and more, as well as two massive shows at Liverpool FC’s Anfield Stadium. Find any remaining tickets here.
In other news, ex-Foos drummer Josh Freese has spoken of life after his exit from the band, saying “no one should feel sorry” for him.
