Foo Fighters are back with the news that they’ll be hitting the road next year, playing a run of 12 stadium shows across North America – and, what’s more, Queens Of The Stone Age will be coming along for the ride.

A heavyweight, double-headed bill if there ever was one, Foos and QOTSA will kick off their joint tour in Toronto on 4th August, before making stops in cities including Chicago, Philadelphia, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Las Vegas.

It’s the first instalment of more shows to come for Foo Fighters, too, and to mark the occasion the band have also shared a brand new single entitled ‘Asking For A Friend’, which Dave Grohl has described as “a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear.”

Explaining more about the inspiration behind the new music and upcoming tour, Dave has written: “Since 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. 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.

What better way to share the view than with close friends?

In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album ‘Blues for the Red Sun’ became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.”
