FOO FIGHTERS BID THE WORLD: 2026 TOUR DATES AND CITIES REVEALED…
The wait is finally over. After months of rumors, cryptic teasers, and late-night speculation across fan forums, Foo Fighters have officially announced their 2026 World Tour — and it’s shaping up to be one of the band’s most ambitious undertakings yet. From Los Angeles to London, Tokyo to São Paulo, the rock titans are ready to remind the world why they remain one of the most electrifying live acts in modern music.
The announcement dropped early Monday morning with a simple message from Dave Grohl: “We’re not done saying goodbye. Let’s make some noise one last time.” The post was followed by a cinematic trailer showcasing footage of roaring crowds, late-night studio sessions, and a nostalgic montage of the band’s three-decade legacy. Within minutes, hashtags like #FooFighters2026Tour and #BidTheWorld began trending worldwide.
A Global Farewell — Or Just the Beginning?
While the Foo Fighters haven’t officially called this a “farewell tour,” many fans believe it may mark the end of an era. Since the tragic passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022, every performance has carried a deeper emotional resonance. Their 2023 and 2024 tours were powerful tributes, but Grohl hinted that the 2026 run would be “something bigger — something for everyone who’s ever screamed along with us.”
The “Bid the World” Tour is set to kick off on May 15, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, followed by massive shows across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. Some of the confirmed stops include:
- May 15 – Los Angeles, CA (SoFi Stadium)
- May 22 – Chicago, IL (Soldier Field)
- June 2 – Toronto, ON (Rogers Centre)
- June 15 – London, UK (Wembley Stadium)
- June 25 – Berlin, Germany (Olympiastadion)
- July 5 – Paris, France (Stade de France)
- July 18 – Tokyo, Japan (Tokyo Dome)
- August 3 – Sydney, Australia (Accor Stadium)
- August 17 – São Paulo, Brazil (Allianz Parque)
- August 30 – Buenos Aires, Argentina (River Plate Stadium)
More cities — including rumored dates in Mexico City, New York, and Johannesburg — are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
⚡ What Fans Can Expect
Sources close to the band describe the 2026 shows as “a celebration of everything Foo Fighters have stood for — chaos, community, and catharsis.” The tour will reportedly feature a setlist spanning their entire catalog, from The Colour and the Shape and Wasting Light to newer material from their 2023 album But Here We Are.
Longtime lighting designer Dan Hadley teased a stage design “unlike anything we’ve ever done before — think intimate chaos on a massive scale.” Rumors also hint at special guest appearances from artists who’ve long shared the stage or studio with Grohl, including Paul McCartney, Alanis Morissette, and members of Queens of the Stone Age.
A Message to the Fans
In a heartfelt video, Grohl addressed the fans directly:
“Every night, you give us everything you’ve got. This tour is our way of giving it all back — one city at a time. Whether it’s your first Foo Fighters show or your fifteenth, this one’s for you.”
Tickets are set to go on sale Friday, October 25, with fan presales beginning earlier in the week through the band’s official site. Given their history of sellouts within minutes, fans are already gearing up for what’s expected to be a record-breaking rush.
️ The Legacy Lives On
Foo Fighters’ story is one of resilience — a band that turned personal tragedy into creative rebirth. From garage beginnings to stadium anthems, they’ve defined what rock means in the 21st century: raw emotion, human connection, and unshakable energy.
As the 2026 “Bid the World” Tour approaches, one thing is clear: this isn’t just another world tour — it’s a global thank-you letter written in thunderous guitars and roaring crowds.
Because when Foo Fighters bid the world… the world listens.
