Foo Fighters Announce New Zealand ‘Take Cover’ Stadium Tour
Frontier Touring is thrilled to announce that one of the biggest and most beloved rock bands of all time – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Foo Fighters – will make their hugely anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand next summer. Celebrating their long-standing love of both countries, this return marks another major chapter in the band’s ongoing global touring legacy, as they bring their unparalleled live show to stadiums in Brisbane, Townsville, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Adelaide this November 2026, followed by Christchurch, Auckland and Perth in January 2027.
Foo Fighters are the very first international band announced to play the brand new One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch which is on track to be completed in April this year. Known to be a city of rock’n’roll loving fans, Christchurch will get the first New Zealand show before the band heads up the country to our other iconic rock venue, the newly refurbished Western Springs Stadium in Auckland.
Foo Fighters are stoked to be sharing stages across New Zealand with 16 of the region’s hottest rising acts, handpicked by the Foos – arrive early and discover your next favourite band, with a support lineup including:
Christchurch: Dartz (Wellington) + Seek Help! (Dunedin)
Auckland: Dick Move (Auckland) + Ringlets (Auckland)
