Netflix Announces Foo Fighters 2026 Tour Documentary: “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth”
Netflix has officially announced a groundbreaking new music documentary titled “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth”, centered around the Foo Fighters’ monumental 2026 world tour across America and Europe. The film promises to deliver an emotional, raw, and electrifying look at one of the most iconic rock bands of the modern era as they embark on their most ambitious journey yet — a tour that marks both a resurrection and a tribute to the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Morgan Neville, “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth” captures the essence of the Foo Fighters’ legacy — from the thunderous live performances that define their sound to the intimate, behind-the-scenes struggles that shaped their path. The title itself reflects not only the dark tones of the band’s latest creative phase but also the rebirth of frontman Dave Grohl, who leads the group through a journey of emotional renewal and creative transformation.
⚡ A Tour Like No Other
The 2026 tour spans over 40 cities across North America and Europe, including legendary venues like Madison Square Garden in New York, Wembley Stadium in London, and Berlin’s Waldbühne. Each stop offers a unique cinematic backdrop to the band’s journey, filled with sold-out crowds, raw emotion, and moments of reflection. The Netflix documentary will showcase how the Foo Fighters balance the demands of life on the road with their enduring passion for music and their fans.
The tour is also deeply symbolic. It marks the band’s first global run since their 2022 tour, which was shadowed by the tragic passing of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins. In “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth,” viewers will witness how the band channels grief into greatness — transforming heartbreak into an artistic renaissance. Grohl’s emotional performances and heartfelt reflections anchor the narrative, offering a deeply human portrait of a man and a band redefining what it means to survive and evolve.
Behind the Scenes: Rebirth of a Legacy
According to Netflix, the documentary will blend concert footage, candid interviews, and never-before-seen archival material. Fans can expect to see the band in vulnerable moments — from late-night jam sessions and studio rehearsals to moments of silence and contemplation that reveal the price of fame and the strength of brotherhood.
Grohl, who also serves as an executive producer, described the project as “a celebration of light found through darkness.” He added, “This tour wasn’t just about performing; it was about reclaiming who we are — as friends, as musicians, as survivors of something that could have broken us.”
A Global Connection
The documentary highlights not only the music but also the unifying power of the Foo Fighters’ fanbase across continents. From the roaring stadiums of Los Angeles to the intimate club nights in Paris, “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth” showcases the global family that continues to keep rock alive. The film dives into the emotional bond between the band and their audience — one built on decades of shared anthems, resilience, and the universal language of sound.
Coming Soon to Netflix
Netflix confirmed that the documentary will premiere worldwide in late 2026, following the conclusion of the tour. The streaming giant has promised an immersive viewing experience, complete with Dolby Atmos sound and behind-the-scenes extras for fans.
For longtime fans and newcomers alike, “The Prince of Darkness: Rebirth” stands as more than just a rock documentary — it’s a cinematic love letter to perseverance, creativity, and the power of music to heal.
As Grohl says in the trailer, over the roar of thousands of voices:
“Out of the darkest nights come the loudest songs — and this time, we’re ready to play them all.”
