It looks like the Foo Fighters are about to announce an Australian tour, which would be the band’s first since 2023……. watch more below 👇 for details and share
It appears that Foo Fighters are preparing to head back to Australia, with an official tour announcement allegedly just hours away. Promoters Frontier Touring sparked a flurry of speculation when they shared a mysterious post featuring the band’s familiar logo and the line “Give me a reason, show me a sign,” a lyric from their recent single.

The post included a link to a countdown page set to expire in the early morning hours of Wednesday (AEST), prompting fans to expect concrete tour dates and ticket information soon. (The Music)
If the rumours hold true, this will mark the group’s first major Australian run since their 2023-24 stadium tour — a tour that itself was significant as their first full Australia-New Zealand outing since 2018. (frontiertouring.com)
The band’s last full tour across Australia and New Zealand occurred between November and December 2023 (Australia) and January 2024 (New Zealand). (frontiertouring.com)
In Australia, they played major venues in cities including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. (frontiertouring.com)
That run was particularly meaningful because it was their first major tour since the tragic death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. The 2023-24 tour featured a reconfigured lineup and was a statement that the band was continuing — a chance for both band and fans to heal and celebrate the music they love. (eventalaide.com)
With that tour concluded, many wondered whether the Foos would return soon (or ever) to Australia. Now, 2025 teasers suggest the wait may almost be over.
- Frontier Touring posted a teaser — photo of a billboard in Hobart with the Foo Fighters logo, plus a countdown. (The Music)
- The tease includes the lyric “Give me a reason, show me a sign,” hinting strongly at a tour announcement. (Rolling Stone Australia)
- The band recently released a new single, Asking for a Friend, marking their first music with new drummer Ilan Rubin, who joined after a reshuffle following Hawkins’ departure. (Rolling Stone Australia)
- The 2023-24 Australia/New Zealand run was their most recent visit down under. (frontiertouring.com)
- Official tour dates. No confirmed schedule has been made public yet. (rova.nz)
- How many shows, and in which cities. While Hobart (Tasmania) seems indicated by the teaser billboard, other locations remain speculative. (rova.nz)
- Whether the upcoming shows will mirror a full-scale stadium tour (like 2023) or a more limited set of concerts (maybe even smaller venues or a partial run).
For the Foo Fighters — still one of rock’s most revered bands after decades of output — a return to Australia now carries weight beyond just another set of concerts. Their last visit came after they suffered the real tragedy of losing Taylor Hawkins. That 2023-24 tour was a rebirth of sorts, a reaffirmation that the music and the spirit go on even in the face of grief. (Celebrity)
For fans, this potential tour offers a rare chance to see the band in a new configuration — with Ilan Rubin on drums — reinterpreting old favourites and perhaps introducing new material. After nearly three years since the last full Australian tour, many in the fanbase have likely changed cities, matured, or missed out entirely; this could be a moment for reunion, catharsis, and rediscovery.
And if the rumours of a Tasmania date are true, it could give parts of Australia that often miss major tours a chance to catch the Foos — an inclusive and exciting prospect indeed.
- Official notice within 24 hours: The countdown on Frontier Touring’s site is due to expire soon. If the band is coming, that announcement should be immediate.
- Possible Tasmania show(s), plus major-city gigs: Given the Hobart teaser, Tasmania seems likely — but if history is any guide, expect at least a handful of large-venue shows across major Australian cities.
- Swift ticket demand: The 2023 tour saw rapid show sell-outs, so fans should be ready for pre-sales or general admissions to move fast.
- A mix of old and new: The setlist will probably draw on the band’s classic rock catalogue while also incorporating newer songs like Asking for a Friend.
A Foos return to Australia now would come at a pivotal moment: the band is adapting, evolving, but fully committed to continuing. The move speaks to resilience — both of the band and of their audience.
If this tour materializes, it could re-energize rock touring across the region, inspire other legacy bands to revisit Australia, and give fans a renewed opportunity to engage with live rock in a major way.
Moreover, for a band that has spanned generations — from 1990s alternative rock to contemporary audiences — this could remind the world that rock is far from dead. It’s alive, roaring, and still capable of filling stadiums, uniting people, and carrying emotional weight decades later.
As we wait for the official announcement, one thing is clear: the long-awaited return of Foo Fighters to Australia is shaping up to be a big moment — not just for fans Down Under, but for the band themselves. Dust off the air guitars, warm up the vocal cords, and keep an eye on Frontier Touring because this could be rock history
