It\u2019s been two and a half years since the last Foo Fighters album, But Here We Are<\/em> (2023). The band seems close to\u00a0unleashing their next<\/a>, as these new, intens<\/span>e snippets they dropped on social media indicate.<\/p>\n On February 4, 2026, the band shared a post that appears to tease several new songs across a short video clip. If my ears are to be believed, these new tunes really lean into the band\u2019s heavier garage-rock dynamics. There are lots of crashing drums, aggressive riffs, and quite a bit of Dave Grohl\u2019s screaming vocals. Check it out below.<\/p>\n The Foo Fighters have been through quite a bit over the last few years. Ahead of releasing But Here We Are <\/em>in 2023, they announced legendary drummer Josh Freese as a new member of the band. Then, just two years later, Freese revealed he\u2019d been fired.<\/p>\n In a 2025 feature from The New York Times<\/a>, Freese offered some perspective on his time with the band, saying, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t music that I really resonated with.\u201d He went on to confess that he believed his dismissal was \u201cmore an issue with their management,\u201d and actually had nothing to do with the member of the band.<\/p>\n Subsequently, Freese ended up rejoining Nine Inch Nails, and NIN\u2019s drummer Ilan Rubin joined the Foo Fighters, which was easily the wildest drummer swap moment in the history of rock music.<\/p>\n It seems the Foos have been ramping up for some new music for the past couple of years, and even dropped a cover song<\/a> last summer before releasing a new original track<\/a> later in the fall. This year, they\u2019ll hit the road for some shows over the summer. You can find those dates below. <\/p>\n ^ with Queens of the Stone Age \n<\/div>\nFoo Fighters Summer 2026 Tour Dates:<\/h2>\n
