The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers turned to social media on Sunday (June 4) to announce a string of shows in Australia and New Zealand.
The band will embark on their Australian stadium tour on November 29 at Perth’s HBF Park. The hitmakers will stop in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane shortly after opening night. The Foo Fighters are scheduled to press pause for the holidays but resume directly after with three shows in New Zealand.
Australia and New Zealand are known for welcoming the rockers with open arms. In 2021, their 10th studio album, Medicine At Midnight, debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA chart. Following the release and after the country lifted its COVID-19 restrictions in 2022, the Foo Fighters held a one-night-only concert. More than 40,000 fans flocked to the GMHB Stadium in Geelong, Australia, for the exclusive show.
Tickets to the trek will go on sale starting Thursday, June 15. The Chats, Teenage Joans, Body Type, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers, and Dick Move will appear for select dates.
Before their international run, the Foo Fighters will kick off their North American leg on June 14 in Rogers, Arkansas. They are slated to hit massive markets and festivals through the fall. They are on the bill at Chicago’s RIOT Fest, Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco, Big Sky’s Wildlands Festival, and Tennessee’s world-renowned Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.
Their highly-anticipated run will support their new album, But Here We Are. Their latest installment serves as their first body of work without drummer Taylor Hawkins, who suddenly died in March 2022.
