The Take Cover Tour is a concert tour by the American rock band Foo Fighters. The tour was announced on 23 October 2025, with only North America tour dates at first. More tour dates in Europe, Oceania and South America were announced later.

The tour started on 10 January 2026 in León, Mexico and is set to conclude on 25 January 2027 in Perth, Australia.[1]

This is the band's first tour with new drummer Ilan Rubin, following the departure of Josh Freese.[2]

Background

[edit]

The band teased that there is a major tour coming on 16 September 2025, stating "Stay tuned", and "There's more to come".[3] The tour was officially announced one month later on 23 October 2025, with twelve stadium tour dates in United States and Canada spanning through August and September 2026.[4] Three more festival shows in the United States were later announced, and are set to take place in May and September 2026.[5][6][7]

The European leg of the tour was announced on 10 November 2025, with nine stadium shows and three festival dates in June and July 2026.[8] One more festival date at the Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands was announced two weeks later on 24 November 2025.[9]

The band performed a special benefit concert in Inglewood, United States at the Kia Forum, on 14 January 2026. All proceeds from the show were donated to Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission organizations.[10] On 3 December 2025, they announced another one-off show in Launceston, Australia at the UTAS Stadium, which took place on 24 January 2026.[11]

On 18 February 2026, the band announced a full Australian and New Zealand tour with two legs, one in November 2026 and one in January 2027.[12] The following day the band released new single "Your Favorite Toy" and announced the release of their new album with the same name as the single, which will come out on 24 April 2026.[13] Later that week a series of three intimate shows across Ireland and England was announced, that took place later that month.[14]

On 26 February 2026, it was announced, that the band will be headlining the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil on 4 September 2026.[15]
