Foo Fighters recently released new single “Asking for a Friend”, the beginning of a new chapter with new drummer Ilan Rubin.
Rubin, formerly of Nine Inch Nails, officially joined the band this year following the departure of Josh Freese. Freese had stepped into the drummer’s seat after the devastating loss of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022.
The Australian show will be Foo Fighters’ first visit to the country since 2023, which was their first without Hawkins.
“Clocking in at 2 hours and 40 minutes, this 2023 version of a Foos live show was ferocious, fun, and close to flawless,” Rolling Stone AU/NZ wrote in a review of their Melbourne show.
“It’s something which would have seemed unfathomable after such a year of heartache and loss for Grohl and his bandmates. But it served as a testament to how amazingly well the Foo Fighters have regrouped, the magic they can still create live, and proved they have all the passion and pieces in place to continue dominating this environment for years to come.
