The tour will mark the first extended live Foos trek in the U.S. since 2024. Since then, they’ve gone through a tumultuous year between the Dave Grohl infidelity scandal and the firing of drummer Josh Freese.
The Foos made their live return in September with a brief run of U.S. pop-up dates and a tour of Asia, which marked their first performances with new drummer Ilan Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails.
As for “Asking for a Friend,” it marks the second new Foo Fighters single of 2025, following July’s “Today Song.”
“‘Asking for a Friend’ is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear,” Grohl says. “Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.”
He adds, “One of many songs to come…”
The most recent Foo Fighters album is 2023’s But Here We Are.
