Foo Fighters Finish New Album as Grohl Teases Australia Return at Tasmania Show

Grohl delivered the update during a sold-out Launceston one-off with no Australian dates announced.

Overview

  • At UTAS Stadium on Jan. 24, Dave Grohl told fans the band “just finished” a full new record, the first public confirmation of a follow-up to 2023’s But Here We Are.
  • Grohl said Foo Fighters will return to Australia before his next birthday on Jan. 14, with no tour schedule revealed.
  • The Launceston concert sold out and ran nearly three hours with a 22-song set, marking their first Tasmanian show in over a decade and the only Australian date of this visit.
  • Stadiums Tasmania said the state government and Launceston City Council contributed a combined $650,000 to secure the event.
  • Guitarist Pat Smear missed the show with a broken foot as Jason Falkner filled in, and miner Brant Webb introduced an acoustic performance of Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners.
