The Foo Fighters continue their string of surprise pop-up concerts with their first-ever Bakersfield performance, taking the stage at The Nile Theater on Monday, November 3rd. The band promises a show “unlike anything you have ever seen before,” marking another thrilling chapter in their series of spontaneous, fan-first gigs. Tickets are $30 and available only in person at The Fox Theater starting at noon PT today, with pickup and entry restrictions ensuring an intimate experience for attendees.
Ahead of the announcement, the group teased fans with a photo of guitarist Pat Smear holding Buck Owens’ iconic red, white, and blue guitar, captioned, “I came here looking for something I couldn’t find anywhere else.” The post sent fans into overdrive, as Bakersfield joins a growing list of secret Foo Fighters stops including Fremont Theater, The Observatory, and The Black Cat. The band also recently dropped a six-track live EP, Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1, on Bandcamp, with proceeds supporting local food charities in cities where they’ve performed.
Following these intimate club shows, Foo Fighters are gearing up for their first major stadium tour since the Everything or Nothing at All run. Launching August 4, 2026, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, the 12-date trek will wrap up on September 26 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The group also shared a new single, “Asking for a Friend,” a haunting, high-energy follow-up to their hit “Today’s Song.”
