by | Nov 10, 2025

Get ready to take cover — Foo Fighters are heading back to the UK and Europe in 2026 with their brand new Take Cover Tour, bringing their signature high-octane rock energy to stadiums, arenas and festivals across the continent. The run will see Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, and the group’s latest recruit – drummer Ilan Rubin – storm through ten European cities before landing in the UK for two massive nights at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium on June 25th and 27th — the band’s only UK stadium shows of 2026.

Kicking off 10th June in Oslo, Norway, taking on Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival and wrapping up 10th July at NOS Alive Festival in Portugal, the tour promises to deliver the life-affirming anthems, raw power, and camaraderie that have cemented Foo Fighters as one of the greatest live bands on the planet.

Coming hot on the heels of their explosive new single Asking For A Friend, the Take Cover Tour marks the band’s first UK and European outing since 2024’s Everything Or Nothing At All Tour, which packed stadiums across the globe and reaffirmed the Foos’ reign as rock’s most enduring and dynamic live act.

Britainicana Is Louder That Americana: Westside Cowboy Stampede Through Portsmouth

Manchester-based quartet Westside Cowboy have only been together since 2023, but have already caused a stir. They have even coined a genre of their own – Britainicana. Even though the name suggests US country with a miserable and sarcastic British twist, they have created something much more fun.

Lacuna Coil @ Stylus, Leeds (John Hayhurst)

Midweek Metal Mass: Lacuna Coil Blaze Through Leeds Stylus

Italian goth heavyweights Lacuna Coil turn Tuesday into a blackout ritual at Leeds Stylus, backed by a fired-up opening assault from Florida bruisers Nonpoint.

Nonpoint hit the stage like they’ve been itching for it all day. Elias Soriano stalks the mic with clipped precision, spitting hooks and commands in equal measure. Robb Rivera goes straight for the gut behind the kit, while Adam Woloszyn grinds out bass lines with industrial weight. Guitarist’s Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas add bite and distortion, feeding the noise without ever tipping it into clutter. The band sound more drilled-in than on their last UK run — tighter, sharper, still proudly abrasive.

Mumford & Sons @ Pryzm (Kalpesh Patel)
