New Music Release: “Asking For a Friend”
Coinciding with the tour announcement, Foo Fighters released their latest single, “Asking For a Friend.” (Pitchfork)
Frontman Dave Grohl describes it as “a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear.”
Dave Grohl’s Heartfelt Message
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Grohl reflected on the band’s renewed energy and upcoming stadium return:
“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.”
(Ultimate Classic Rock)
Grohl also emphasized his deep musical friendship with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age:
“So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty Queens of the Stone Age.”

What This Tour Means for Live Music
The Foo Fighters’ Take Cover Tour 2026 isn’t just another rock run—it’s a full-scale celebration of live music’s resurgence and the timeless energy of American rock.
- It’s their first stadium tour since Everything or Nothing at All (2023-2024). (Rolling Stone)
- Queens of the Stone Age’s involvement makes this a historic rock-royalty collaboration.
- New music + stadium dates = peak momentum for Foo Fighters’ modern era.
As Grohl put it best: “Take cover—because when these two legendary bands take the stage together, rock fans are in for an unforgettable experience.”
