Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce that one of the biggest and most beloved rock bands of all time – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Foo Fighters – will make their hugely anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand next summer. Celebrating their long-standing love of both countries, this return marks another major chapter in the band’s ongoing global touring legacy, as they bring their unparalleled live show to stadiums in Brisbane, Townsville, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Adelaide this November 2026, followed by Christchurch, Auckland and Perth in January 2027.
Today’s news follows Foo Fighters’ recent history-making performance in Tasmania – the biggest concert ever held in the State, and their first ever appearance in Launceston. The sold-out UTAS Stadium show reaffirmed Foo Fighters’ enduring connection with their fans down under, with frontman Dave Grohl fulfilling his onstage promise that the band would return before his birthday (January 14). Buoyed by their Tassie visit and with a reputation for delivering landmark live moments in every corner of the globe, Foo Fighters have added two regional cities, Townsville and Newcastle, to their forthcoming return.
Over in Christchurch meanwhile, the band will take to the stage at the city’s newly built, state-of-the-art One New Zealand Stadium, on track to be completed in April.
Foo Fighters are stoked to be sharing stages across Australia and New Zealand with 16 of the region’s hottest rising acts, handpicked by the Foos – arrive early and discover your next favourite band, with a support lineup including:
Townsville: Full Flower Moon Band (Brisbane) + Downgirl (Sydney)
Sydney: The Belair Lip Bombs (Frankston) + TEENS (Hobart)
Newcastle: The Buoys (Sydney) + C.O.F.F.I.N (Sydney)
Melbourne: The Belair Lip Bombs (Frankston) + FRENZEE (Melbourne)
