Following a few days of not so crytpic hints on social media Foo Fighters have today (October 23) revealed the first batch of live performances which will be part of a 'Take Cover' world tour in 2026. For now, the band have focused on the North American market with huge shows in Toronto, Cleveland, Vancouver and Las Vegas among others.

Several of the dates announced today seem to function as make up shows for those that had to sadly be cancelled following Taylor Hawkin's death in 2022. The dates in Canada will also mark a wider return to the Great White North for Foo Fighters since 2018, with just two festival appearances and one headlining show in Montreal in 2023 since then.

The majority of the shows announced will see premium support from long-time friends Queens Of The Stone Age, the date in Fargo being the only exception. Also on the bill at select shows will be Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away.
