The band has been slowly added shows to their 2025 itinerary
Earlier this month, October, Foo Fighters were set to return to the stage. They are perform at the 2025 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Other features acts include Elton John, The Smashing Pumpkins and Crowded House. The race is set to take place October 3 through October 5 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Other international dates have also been announced in Indonesia and Japan. Last week, Foo Fighters confirmed another huge headlining appearance in Monterrey, Mexico on November 12 with a very special guest – Queens of the Stone Age.
Now, it seems fans in California will have a chance to see the band perform sooner than expected. Foo Fighters announced Friday plans for a special surprise gig at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California.

Additionally, the band appears to be teasing some new music. The graphic that the band shared on social media for the show has a snippet of music playing in the background. The track, while giving some major “All My Life” vibes, could very well be an all-new tune and the follow-up to the recently released “Today’s Song.“
After announcing their first show of 2025, Foo Fighters shook up their lineup in a big way. The group parted ways with drummer Josh Freese, who took over for the late Taylor Hawkins in May 0f 2023. The news was confirmed by Freese himself on his official social media.
“The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know that they’ve decided to go in a “different direction with their drummer.” No reason was given. Regardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage, and I support whatever they feel is best for the band. In my 40 years of professional drumming, I’ve never been let go from a band, so while I’m not angry – just a bit disappointed. But as most of you know I’ve always bounced between bands, so I’m fine. Stay tuned for my “Top 10 Possible Reasons Josh Got Booted from the Foo Fighters” list.
Sources close to the Foo Fighters have confirmed that the band has tapped former Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin, who had been with NIN since 2009. Ruben will reportedly play drums for all of Foo Fighters upcoming tour dates in Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, and Mexico. Subsequently (and ironically), Josh Freese rejoined Nine Inch Nails on the fly for their current North American leg of their Peel It Back World Tour that launched back on August 6 in Oakland, California. Freese had previously been a member of NIN, touring with the group from 2005 to 2008. During that stretch, he recorded drums on the band’s albums Year Zero (2007) and The Slip (2008).
After performing sporadically across North America in 2023, Foo Fighters embarked on a full United States tour last year that kicked off with back-to-back shows at Citi Field in New York on July 17 and July 18. The run wrapped up on August 18 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, where frontman Dave Grohl’s old house recently hit the market.

Foo Fighters’ new album, But Here We Are, arrived in June of 2023. The album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and topped Billboard’s Rock and Alternative Albums charts. It marked the band’s first release without late drummer Taylor Hawkins since he joined the band for 1999’s There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Dave Grohl recorded all the drums on But Here We Are.
The album garnered the band three 2024 GRAMMY® Award nominations. The LP But Here We Are was up for Best Rock Album, while the record’s lead single “Rescued” was in the running for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. Metallica and Arctic Monkeys also grabbed three nods each.
