The Enduring Spirit of Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl shared a statement reflecting on the band’s renewed energy, noting that their recent return to the stage has reaffirmed their passion for performing. He highlighted the process of revisiting 30 years of material, reimagining songs with Ilan Rubin on drums, and reconnecting with their fanbase. Grohl emphasized the band’s “solid core” and the feeling that “the sun is finally rising over the horizon” for Foo Fighters.

Queens of the Stone Age will join Foo Fighters as direct support for nearly all dates of the North American tour, with the exception of the September 12 show in Fargo.
