Excitement is building across Australia as strong signals point to an imminent tour announcement from legendary American rock band, the Foo Fighters. Promoters have begun a major teaser campaign, suggesting the band will return to Australian shores in 2026.
Promoter's Cryptic Tease Sparks Fan Frenzy
On Monday, the prominent Australian touring company Frontier Touring ignited speculation with a cryptic post on Instagram. The post featured an image of a large Foo Fighters billboard mounted on The Winston pub in Hobart, Tasmania. The caption, using a lyric from the band's recent single Asking For A Friend, read: 'Give me a reason, show me a sign.'
The post included a direct link to a dedicated Foo Fighters page on Frontier's website. Visitors clicking the link are met with a black screen displaying the band's iconic logo and a countdown timer, promising 'big news incoming' at some point on Wednesday.
Tasmania Show Appears Confirmed
While fans on the mainland await the official word, a concert in Tasmania seems almost certain. The location of the teased billboard did not go unnoticed, especially as the band skipped the island state during their last Australian tour.
Adding significant weight to the rumours, the reputable fan account Foo Fighters Live shared purported promotional artwork on Monday night. The artwork advertises a 'one night only' Foo Fighters event at UTAS Stadium in Tasmania on January 24, 2026.
The promotional image, which features the Frontier Touring logo, suggests the show will also include support acts Brisbane's The Full Flower Moon Band and Tasmanian group Spooky Eyes. Although Frontier has not yet officially confirmed this specific date, the evidence is compelling.
Anticipation Reaches Fever Pitch
The initial teaser sent Australian fans into a social media frenzy. Many expressed their joy and surprise at the Hobart billboard location, with one commenting on the intrigue. 'Super excited for this announcement,' wrote another eager supporter.
This potential 2026 tour would mark a highly anticipated return for Dave Grohl and the band, following their last Australian run. The strategic countdown and coordinated teaser campaign indicate a full national tour announcement is likely, with the Tasmanian date acting as the first confirmed stop.
All eyes are now on Frontier Touring's official channels for the full reveal when the countdown concludes on Wednesday.
