Foo Fighters are back in Australia for the first time since drummer Taylor Hawkins died in March 2022. They’ve got a new album to draw from, this year’s But Here We Are, and omnipresent rock session drummer Josh Freese is filling Hawkins’ place behind the kit.
The tour includes stadium shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane between late November and mid-December. It caps off a period of heavy touring for Dave Grohl and co., who’ve recently played shows in the UAE, Japan, the UK and Europe, as well as completing a comprehensive tour of the USA. Find all the Australian tour setlists below.
