Foo Fighters to Bring Massive 2026 Stadium Tour to Chicago’s Soldier Field
Rock fans across the Midwest are gearing up for one of the biggest concert events of the decade — the Foo Fighters have officially announced that their highly anticipated 2026 Stadium Tour will include a massive stop at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The show, scheduled for August 8, 2026, promises to deliver the kind of explosive, heart-pounding energy that has made the band one of the most powerful forces in rock ’n’ roll history.
Led by the indomitable Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters are no strangers to Chicago. Over the years, the band has built a loyal following in the Windy City, performing legendary sets at Lollapalooza, Metro, and the United Center. But this time, the stakes are even higher. Soldier Field, with its 60,000+ capacity, will serve as the ultimate proving ground for what’s shaping up to be a defining moment in the Foo Fighters’ career.
The 2026 Stadium Tour comes on the heels of the band’s acclaimed 2025 album, Echoes of the Infinite, which has already spawned several chart-topping hits and earned praise for its raw emotion and triumphant sound. Fans can expect the setlist to blend the new material with the Foo Fighters’ iconic anthems — including “Everlong,” “Best of You,” “The Pretender,” and “Learn to Fly.”
In a statement released through their official channels, Grohl shared his excitement about returning to Chicago:
“There’s no city like Chicago — the crowd, the energy, the passion. Every time we play here, it feels like home. Soldier Field is going to shake like never before. We can’t wait to see everyone screaming those songs back at us.”
The production for the tour is rumored to be one of the most ambitious the band has ever undertaken. Sources close to the Foo Fighters’ team hint at a 360-degree stage, dynamic pyrotechnics, and immersive visual effects that will transform Soldier Field into a full-blown rock arena under the stars.
Chicago’s rich musical legacy makes it a perfect backdrop for this kind of event. The city’s deep ties to rock, blues, and alternative music have made it a natural hub for legendary performances — and the Foo Fighters are ready to add their name once again to that storied tradition.
Tickets for the Soldier Field show are set to go on sale Friday, November 15, 2025, via Ticketmaster and the band’s official website. A limited number of VIP Experience Packages — which include early entry, exclusive merchandise, and access to a pre-show lounge — will also be available. Given the Foo Fighters’ massive fan base and the scale of their last sold-out tours, tickets are expected to sell out within minutes.
Fans on social media are already buzzing with anticipation, flooding platforms like X and Instagram with posts counting down the days until the big night. “Foo Fighters in Chicago? That’s history in the making,” one fan wrote.
As the countdown to summer 2026 begins, it’s clear that the Foo Fighters’ Soldier Field concert will be more than just a show — it will be a celebration of resilience, unity, and the enduring power of rock music. For a band that has weathered decades, personal loss, and changing musical eras, this tour isn’t just another chapter; it’s a full-circle moment.
Chicago, get ready — on August 8, 2026, Soldier Field will roar.
