Foo Fighters ’ smattering of confirmed live dates should be just the beginning of another massive tour.

The Rock Hall-inducted stadium fillers have been off the road since September 2024 and is set to return to the stage with upcoming shows in Indonesia (Oct. 2), Singapore (Oct. 4), Japan (Oct. 7, 8, 10) and Mexico (Nov. 12, 14).

“Stay tuned,” reads a new message from the band, posted late Tuesday, Sept. 16. “There’s more to come.”

Dave Grohl and Co. dropped the cryptic clue in a goofy “Keeping It Real” video, which sees the bandmates delivering their lines with all the gusto of cartoon robots, and generative AI hogging the visuals.

“It’s been a while but I’m happy to announce that Foo Fighters are coming back to bring you that 100% real, raw, human element of rock ‘n’ roll,” Grohl says at the top of a 70 second video, much of which plays like an gag.

A separate message from the band leaves little doubt about their plans to mount another monster trek. “Thank You!!!,” it reads. “Where Will We See You Next???”

The rockers released their 11th and latest studio album, But Here We Are, in 2023, marking their first new music following the death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The band celebrated its 30th anniversary in July with the release of a new track titled “Today’s Song,” and made a surprise performance on Saturday (Sept. 13) for an all-ages show at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, CA. They repeated the feat Monday (Sept. 15) at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA.

Those shows served as a coming out party for the Foos new drummer Ilan Rubin, who appears in the new social video with, count them, 10 arms. “Wait ‘till you meet our new drummer,” quips Grohl.

But Here We Are (via Roswell Records/RCA Records) was the Foos’ “brutally honest and emotionally raw” album, debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, for their 10th top 10 title, a tally that includes two leaders (2017’s Concrete And Gold, and 2011’s Wasting Light).
