Foo Fighters have announced their 2026 world tour, “Take Cover”, with confirmed shows in North America and Europe. The tour kicks off in June in Oslo, Norway, and will visit dozens of iconic cities including Paris, London, Berlin, Chicago, Toronto and Las Vegas.
The announcement came in an emotional statement from frontman Dave Grohl, in which he celebrates the band’s return to the stage alongside special friends: Queens of the Stone Age in North America, and bands such as Idles, Royel Otis and Inhaler in Europe.
“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo (…), 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.” said Dave Grohl in the press release about this tour.

In Europe, June and July bring long days and warmer weather across cities. Liverpool offers two dates, perfect for fans who want to secure tickets and explore the Beatles’ city at their own pace. Paris and Berlin combine music with world-class culture and gastronomy. For a unique experience, Oslo and Stockholm bring Scandinavian charm with daylight stretching late into the evening during summer.
In North America, August is full summer, with favourable climate in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Toronto. September offers a preview of Canadian autumn, ideal if you want to combine the show with colourful scenery in Vancouver and Edmonton. Las Vegas, of course, is an option if you prefer to combine the show with entertainment and the unique energy of the city.
