Foo Fighters Take Cover Tour: The Complete US Stadium Guide
The Foo Fighters are back in North American stadiums with The Take Cover Tour, which pairs a 30-year catalog with a revitalized lineup, new album Your Favorite Toy, and a co-bill with Queens of the Stone Age on most dates. Here’s everything you need to know about the tour, so you can find your date and buy Foo Fighters tickets at Event Tickets Center.
Why the Take Cover Tour is a Must-See Event
This tour is not a nostalgia run: the Foos come in with new material, a new drummer, and setlists that are running close to three hours. Here's what's driving that.
A Revitalized Lineup 30 Years Into the Catalog
Ilan Rubin replaced Josh Freese on drums ahead of this tour. Rubin spent years as the drummer for Nine Inch Nails and brings a level of technical precision that has visibly changed the way the band approaches its catalog live. Setlists on the European leg have been longer and more varied than anything the band has played in recent years. Pat Smear is also back on the road with the Foos after skipping a few dates at the beginning of the year.
Your Favorite Toy, released April 24, 2026, gives the band new songs that hold up alongside the legacy material. Tracks like "La Dee Da," "Caught in the Echo," and "Your Favorite Toy" have been working their way into the set without displacing the hits. The show doesn't feel front-loaded with new album obligations.
Queens of the Stone Age on the Bill
Queens of the Stone Age serve as direct support on every North American stadium date except Fargo on Sept. 12. The Grohl and Josh Homme connection goes back to 2002, when Grohl played drums on nearly all of Songs for the Deaf.
Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away also open on select dates. Support assignments vary by city, so check the individual event page for your date before buying.
Foo Fighters Tour Setlist: What to Expect
The Take Cover Tour runs close to three hours across three phases: a front-loaded electric main set, a B-stage acoustic interlude, and a second electric half that builds into the encore. The main set opens at full volume with no warm-up. "All My Life," "The Pretender," "Times Like These," and "Rope" have been hitting in quick succession on the European leg.
The B-stage acoustic section is the most unpredictable part of the night, with deep cuts and covers that shift from city to city. The encore has been consistent: "The Teacher" into "Exhausted" into "Everlong." Below is the full setlist from the most recent European show, the best available picture of what a Take Cover Tour night looks like. North American dates may vary.
