CHICAGO - The Foo Fighters are bringing their high-energy stadium show back to Chicago next summer. 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band announced its 2026 stadium tour this morning, marking their first large-scale U.S. trek since their sold out 2023-24 run. 

The tour includes 12 North American stops, including a performance at Soldier Field in Chicago on Aug. 8, 2026. Queens of the Stone Age are also scheduled to join as supporting act. 

What we know:

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Oct. 31, at 10 a.m. CT.

The band’s announcement coincides with the release of a new single, "Asking for a Friend," a follow-up to their 2023 single "Today’s Song." The track takes a darker, more reflective tone, continuing the band’s signature sound.
