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.
