This tour presents a unique twist as the Foo Fighters have curated a lineup of 12 emerging Australian acts to support them at each show.

Background: A Legacy of Connection with Australia
This announcement comes on the heels of their record-breaking concert in Tasmania, which stands as the largest concert ever held in the state. Grohl had previously hinted at a return before his birthday, and it seems the promise has been elegantly fulfilled.
In addition to the tour, Foo Fighters have officially announced their upcoming 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, set to hit the shelves on April 24, 2024. The title track has already been released, giving fans a taste of the new sound that’s in store.
Anticipating New Music and Live Energy
Recorded in their home studio and co-produced with Oliver Roman, the new album marks a significant evolution in the band’s musical journey. According to Dave Grohl, the title track was pivotal in establishing the energetic direction of the album.
“‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”
With more than 1.8 million records sold in Australia, and nine #1 albums to their name, Foo Fighters have forged a deep connection with their Australian fanbase. Concerts are expected to deliver career-spanning setlists, sing-alongs, and the high-energy performances that have solidified their status as one of the most dependable live acts worldwide.
