Foo Fighters played their first show with new drummer Ilan Rubin on Saturday night in San Luis Obispo, California’s 900-capacity Fremont Theater. Now, the rock band has confirmed that “there’s more to come.”
The musician shared a tongue-in-cheek promo video on YouTube on Tuesday night, which appears to be created with the assistance of AI. The clip showcases each member of the band talking about the importance of making real music with nods to AI cliches like extra fingers and uncanny faces.

“It’s been a while but I’m happy to announce that Foo Fighters are coming back to bring you that 100 percent real, raw, human element of rock ‘n’ roll,” Dave Grohl says before displaying a fake set list written in AI scrawl.
The short video ends with the words, “Stay tuned… there’s more to come!” Although the band have yet to announce a tour, this seems to suggest that announcement is impending. The band’s new lineup played a second show on Monday night at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California, and have a few upcoming tour dates in Singapore, Japan, and Mexico already on the books.
Saturday marked Rubin’s debut with Foo Fighters. The drummer, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, joined the band this summer after the Foos parted ways with Josh Freese, who had stepped in after the 2022 death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins. Grohl introduced Rubin from the stage, saying, “Everybody else has said it. I finally get the opportunity to say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome…’ The most badass motherfucker, Ilan Rubin, is playing drums in the Foo Fighters right now. It’s official. You can stamp the passport.”
Earlier this year Foo Fighters, dropped their first new music since 2023’s But Here We Are: the new track “Today’s Song” and a cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It.”
