Get ready, Australia \u2013 the Foo Fighters are about to announce a headline tour.<\/p>\n

On Monday (December 1st), Frontier Touring teased \u201cbig news incoming\u201d in a post featuring the band\u2019s signature logo<\/a> and the caption \u201cGive me a reason, show me a sign,\u201d a lyric from their latest single, \u201cAsking For a Friend\u201d.<\/p>\n

A link on the post leads to a countdown page, which will finish at 3am Wednesday morning AEST.<\/p>\n

The tease comes as the Foo Fighters embark on a new chapter with drummer Ilan Rubin<\/a>, a US stadium tour for 2026<\/a> and brand new music, including the aforementioned \u201cAsking for a Friend\u201d.<\/p>\n

Frontman Dave Grohl described the new track as \u201ca song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear\u201d. He added that it represents \u201cone of many songs to come,\u201d suggesting additional new material may follow.<\/p>\n

Grohl recently reflected on the band\u2019s recent return to live performance, stating: \u201cSince 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, officially joined the band this year following the departure of Josh Freese<\/a>. Freese had stepped into the drummer\u2019s seat after the devastating loss of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Australian tour would be Foo Fighters\u2019 first run of the country since 2023, which was the rock group\u2019s first without late drummer Taylor Hawkins.<\/p>\n

\u201cClocking in at 2 hours and 40 minutes, this 2023 version of a Foos live show was ferocious, fun, and close to flawless,\u201d Rolling Stone AU\/NZ wrote in a review of their Melbourne show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something which would have seemed unfathomable after such a year of heartache and loss for Grohl and his bandmates. But it served as a testament to how amazingly well the Foo Fighters have regrouped, the magic they can still create live, and proved they have all the passion and pieces in place to continue dominating this environment for years to come.<\/p>\n
