Rock giants Foo Fighters have officially announced their triumphant return to the United Kingdom, confirming two colossal stadium shows for 2026. The band, led by Dave Grohl, will play two nights at Liverpool's legendary Anfield Stadium as the UK leg of their extensive 'Take Cover' European tour.
Tour Details and UK Dates
Marking their first UK performances in two years, the Foo Fighters will bring their high-octane show to Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on June 25 and June 27, 2026. This announcement follows a cryptic teaser featuring the letters 'FF' on the seats of the famous football ground, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation that has now been confirmed.
The European tour kicks off earlier in the month, starting in Oslo, Norway on June 10. The run will see the band perform across Sweden, Poland, Germany, and France before arriving in Liverpool. After the two UK dates, the tour continues with further shows in Germany, Austria, Spain, and Portugal.
New Line-up and Ticket Information
This major tour will be the band's first in the UK with their new drummer, Ilan Rubin, adding a fresh dynamic to their legendary sound. The shows will also feature a stellar line-up of support acts. Inhaler and Otoboke Beaver are set to open the first night, while Royel Otis and Die Spitz will warm up the crowd for the second performance.
For fans eager to secure their place, the ticket sales process is now underway. Pre-sale tickets are available to those subscribed to the official Foo Fighters newsletter. The general public will get their chance when general ticket sales go live at 10am GMT on November 14 through major outlets like Ticketmaster.
Potential for More UK Shows
With a gap in the schedule between the two Liverpool concerts and free dates immediately following the final UK show, speculation is rife that additional performances could be announced. While there is no official word on any secret festival appearances or extra dates, the current schedule leaves the door open for more good news for British fans in the future.
This tour announcement solidifies Foo Fighters' status as one of rock's most enduring and powerful live acts, promising an unforgettable experience at one of the UK's most iconic venues.
