When Foo Fighters Concert Tour?
Any news regarding the next Foo Fighters tour is eagerly anticipated by the band's fans.
Fans of rock music all over the world are waiting for the Foo Fighters to announce the details of the next concert tour. It is the high-energy rock band founded by Dave Grohl, the ex-drummer of Nirvana with its exceptional live performance and never-ending tour for the last 25 years. However, the Foo Fighters have not been as active in recent years since the release of their 10th studio album titled Medicine at Midnight in early 2021.
Though the Foos performed just a few festival shows and some one-offs in 2021, they have not done a full-scale headlining tour for Medicine at Midnight yet. Over the past couple years, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many bands touring schedules considerably. Also, the Foos faced the loss of their drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died in March 2022, a sudden loss to the band.
Quite expected, the band also needed time to mourn the sudden death of Hawkins, their talented member. But in September 2022 Foo Fighters band stated that they would continue as a band and several concerts would be dedicated to Hawkins. The concerts proved to be an all-star drummer for Hawkins, while Grohl and the rest of the band were accompanied by numerous guest musicians.
The tribute shows which were performed in London and Los Angeles proved to be heartrending yet jovial performances to commemorate Hawkins’ soulfulness and commanding drumming. They appeared to rediscover themselves while on tour with the Foo Fighters and Grohl was quoted at one point saying the Foos were a band for touring. This has brought hope to the fans that there could be a proper Foo Fighters tour in the year 2023.
Possible Schedule of the Next Foo Fighters Concert
Unfortunately, no tour dates for Foo Fighters have been released yet, but there are a few indications that may suggest when the band will go on tour again. The band has planned for their performances at the significant summer festivals of 2023 such as Boston Calling and Sonic Temple. These may be potentially warm-up dates before a major headlining tour.
Considering the latest and past trends, the experts believe that if Foo Fighters tours then it should be in Summer 2023 most probably. This would have given the band enough time to make the necessary emotional preparations for touring without Hawkins. It also offers a chance to choose new touring member(s) who could also work on drums if necessary.
Some fans speculated that the band’s longtime producer Greg Kurstin will replace Taylor on drums since the latter did during the tribute concerts. But Kurstin seems better suited for a supporting role. It’s more probable that the Foos will invite one or more such elite drummers as Josh Freese or Travis Barker who performed in the Taylor Hawkins’ memorials.
The Next Album Could Also Be on the Horizon
Together with more touring, many fans of Foo Fighters are eager to find out if the band is currently composing new material. The album Medicine at Midnight was released almost two years ago, which is quite typical for Foo Fighters, as the average time between their studio albums is about two years.
However, since they are still mourning Hawkins, it could also be helpful for them to return to what they love and lost; songwriting and recording. One can comment that creating music does not appear to be a problem for Dave Grohl and members of the Foo Fighters including Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, and Chris Shiflett. Another step forward for the band, working on a new album would be something interesting.
A few fans believe that Hawkins might have recorded some parts of the songs, which may still be worked into the new Foo Fighters songs. This would allow the late drummer to be included in the next album of the group. But purely speculative conjectures at this stage of the research only.
