FOO FIGHTERS have released a brand new single!
The legendary rock band have unveiled Asking for a Friend, a darker, more intense follow-up to their recent hit Today’s Song. The new track builds from hypnotic verses into explosive refrains, culminating in a breakneck finale that leaves listeners breathless.
Alongside the release, FOO FIGHTERS have announced their first stadium tour since the massive Everything or Nothing at All run. The 2026 North American Stadium Tour kicks off on August 4th in Toronto and will hit 12 cities across the continent, concluding (for now) on September 26th in Las Vegas. QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will join as direct support on all dates except September 12th in Fargo.
Speaking about the new music and tour, frontman Dave Grohl says, “since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this FOO FIGHTERS thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon.
What better way to share the view than with close friends?
In 1992 I first saw the legendary KYUSS perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album Blues for the Red Sun became the soundtrack to that summer. 33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh. A lifelong bond that goes far beyond the sound we’ve made together. So it is with great happiness that we can share this next chapter together with his almighty QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.
Take cover. But none of this would be complete without new music to share from Pat, Nate, Chris, Rami, Ilan and I. Asking for a Friend is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again. One of many songs to come…”
