Hold onto your pint, butt โ the mighty Foo Fighters are coming back for another round of pure, unfiltered stadium chaos in 2026! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Thatโs right, Dave Grohl and the lads have just announced a massive UK and European tour, and itโs shaping up to be one of their biggest runs yet. After their emotional comeback following the loss of Taylor Hawkins and their explosive 2024/25 shows, the Foos are clearly showing no signs of slowing down โ only turning it up to 11. ๐คโก
Expect singalongs louder than a jet engine, crowd surfers in every direction, and a setlist stuffed with bangers like โEverlong,โ โThe Pretender,โ โLearn to Fly,โ โBest of You,โ and maybe even a few surprises from their latest record. ๐
While full details on venues and dates are still rolling out, fans across London, Manchester, Glasgow, Paris, Berlin, and Madrid are already losing their minds online. Tickets are expected to sell faster than you can yell โFOO!โ so be ready when the presale opens. ๐ฅ
Whether youโre a diehard fan whoโs followed Grohl since his Nirvana days or someone who just loves a good scream-along under festival lights โ this is one you cannot miss.
The Foo Fighters are back, baby โ and theyโre ready to prove, once again, why rock isnโt dead. It just wears a Grohl grin. ๐
Stay tuned for tour dates, ticket links, and Riff Reportโs full guide on how to survive a Foo Fighters gig (spoiler: it involves losing your voice and loving it).
Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene specialโfrom legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether heโs battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, heโs always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When heโs not writing or interviewing artists, youโll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than musicโtheyโre about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Thatโs exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. ๐ค
