In a monumental and unexpected announcement, Foo Fighters has revealed plans for a 2026 reunion tour, and
in an even bigger twist, the band will be reuniting with their original lineup! Fans of the iconic rock group are over
the moon as the legendary band, led by Dave Grohl, prepares to hit the road once again with the lineup that started it
all.
A Highly Anticipated Return
Foo Fighters fans have been eagerly waiting for any sign of the band’s next chapter following the untimely passing of
drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Since then, the band has gone through a period of reflection and mourning, all
while continuing to honor Hawkins’ legacy. But now, after years of speculation, Foo Fighters are returning to the
stage—bringing back the original members, including Dave Grohl (vocals, guitar), Nate Mendel (bass), Pat
Smear (guitar), and William Goldsmith (drums).
The announcement was made through a heartfelt social media post, showing a reunion photo of the band from their
early days, with the caption: “We’ve missed you. 2026. The original lineup. Let’s do this.” The news comes as a huge
surprise to fans who thought the band might continue with new members or in a different direction.
What to Expect from the 2026 Reunion Tour
With the original lineup back together, Foo Fighters’ 2026 reunion tour is shaping up to be one of the most
anticipated rock events in recent memory. The band has promised an epic setlist featuring all their greatest hits,
including Everlong, The Pretender, Learn to Fly, and All My Life.
Fans are also hoping for deep cuts and rarities, with the band known for mixing up their setlists and making every
show unique. Moreover, in honor of Taylor Hawkins, fans are expecting tributes, with some speculating that a
special set or tribute performance could be part of the tour to celebrate his memory and incredible contributions to
the band.
“This tour is about coming full circle and celebrating the journey we’ve all been on—together, as a band and with our
fans,” Grohl shared in a statement. “We want to make this an unforgettable experience for everyone.”
Tour Dates and Locations
While full tour details are still under wraps, Foo Fighters has already teased some of the cities they’ll be visiting.
Major stops in Los Angeles, London, New York, and Chicago are confirmed, with the band also planning to
take the tour internationally to Berlin, Sydney, and Tokyo.
The band’s return is expected to sell out incredibly fast, so fans are being urged to sign up for early access to tickets.
Presale information is expected to be released soon, as the demand for tickets is expected to be massive. It’s likely

Why the Reunion Now?
The timing of Foo Fighters’ return has left many wondering why 2026 was chosen as the year for the reunion. For
Dave Grohl and the band, this tour feels like a natural progression after a period of healing. Grohl and the band have
previously stated that they would only come back together when the time felt right, and it seems that 2026 is that
moment.
“We’ve been through a lot over the past few years. We’ve had time to think about everything. This tour isn’t just
about the music—it’s about honoring everything that has made us who we are,” Grohl continued in his statement.
