“Try not to choke on the glitter…”

Foo Fighters have unveiled details of their 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, set for release on 24th April via Roswell Records/Columbia Records. The band have also shared the record’s razor-sharp title track, marking their first new music of 2026.

Your Favorite Toy arrives as a jagged, insidious earworm — all stabbing guitars, sinister keyboard accents and a driving rhythmic undercurrent. Over its infectious chorus, Dave Grohl adopts a sardonic edge, delivering the biting refrain: “Someone threw away your favorite toy for good.”

It’s a bold first taste of an album that promises to push the band into fresh sonic territory while retaining the unmistakable hallmarks that have defined their monolithic catalogue. According to Grohl, the track became the creative catalyst for the entire record.

Your Favorite Toy really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” he explains. “We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

Recorded at home, Your Favorite Toy was co-produced by the band alongside Oliver Roman, engineered by Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent. The ten-track album also includes last year’s incendiary single Asking For A Friend, alongside new cuts such as Caught In The Echo, Of All People, Unconditional and Amen, Caveman.

The album’s arrival heralds the band’s sprawling Take Cover world tour, which launches on 10th June at Unity Arena in Oslo, following US festival headline appearances at Welcome To Rockville and BottleRock Napa Valley. It will be the first tour featuring latest drummer Ilan Rubin.

The UK will welcome Foo Fighters for two huge stadium shows at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool this June.

Garbage @ Roundhouse (Kalpesh Patel)

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

Metallica Double Up For A No Repeat Weekend At London Stadium

It’s the first weekend in July and The Metal has taken over Westfield Stratford. Friday evening shoppers mingle with sweaty black clad rockers, because Metallica have brought their No Repeat Weekend M72 tour to this corner of East London. Now into it’s fourth year, the final weekend of this tour will see the metal giants play two completely different sets over Friday and Sunday night at London Stadium — an immense treat for the diehards, and introducing some deeper cuts for the casuals, providing something for everyone.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
