Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters Announce Massive 2026 Tour, Marriage Turmoil, and Instagram Antics

Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Dave Grohl has been at the center of major music news in the past few days. The biggest headline: Foo Fighters just announced their massive spring and summer 2026 "Take Cover Tour" across Europe and the UK, marking a significant return for the band since they wrapped up touring in September 2024. Grohl’s team will hit Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium for two nights, as well as venues in Oslo, Stockholm, Warsaw, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Milan, Madrid, and Lisbon. Support acts include Royel Otis, Inhaler, IDLES, Otoboke Beaver, Fat Dog, and Die Spitz, depending on the venue. General ticket sales begin November 14 at 10 a.m. local time and expectations are sky-high after last summer’s “Everything or Nothing at All Tour.” This run will be the band’s first with new drummer Ilan Rubin, officially introduced at their surprise show in San Luis Obispo back in September, where Grohl hailed Rubin onstage as “the most badass motherfucker” now holding down the Foo Fighters’ rhythm section, succeeding Josh Freese after some internal reshuffling. Grohl hasn’t only been operating on stage—he’s been warming up his Instagram account too. During a Foo Fighters pop-up gig at Nile Theater in Bakersfield on October 3, Grohl posted a cheeky photo in a Korn-branded Adidas tracksuit, riffing on local themes and swapping comments with Korn frontman Jonathan Davis and members of the band. Grohl’s caption, “This time of year always makes me think of Kornfields,” brought a buzz among fans and music insiders. The band dropped their live debut of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” at this show and Grohl made a mixtape for record store Going Underground’s raffle, packed with punk and indie favorites. Their pop-up performances from September—at Fremont Theater, Observatory, and The Black Cat—marked Rubin’s first gigs as official Foo Fighters drummer and resulted in a special Bandcamp EP Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1, raising funds for local food charities. On the personal front, Grohl was recently spotted on a cozy public outing with wife Jordyn Blum in Glendale, California, nearly six months after the news broke about Grohl’s daughter born outside their marriage. A source told People magazine that while their marriage faced real turbulence, the longtime couple is “trying to move forward,” focusing on healing for their family and children. The sighting drew attention from celebrity outlets, given it marked only their second appearance together since the news, and insiders say Blum is prioritizing her daughters' wellbeing despite still appearing without a wedding ring. Social media has seen plenty of Grohl chatter. Earlier this summer, he penned a heartfelt open letter to Foo Fighters fans, thanking them for their support through the band’s emotional journey after losing Taylor Hawkins and his own mother Virginia. The letter, shared widely, had fans speculating about possible hidden meanings and whether Grohl was referencing s This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
