Rock fans across Australia are bracing for a massive announcement, as Foo Fighters and local promoter Frontier Touring tease what looks very much like a new headline tour.
Australia hasn’t even had an official announcement yet, but Foo Fighters fans are already acting like the tour is on. A fresh teaser from promoter Frontier Touring – featuring the band’s unmistakable logo and a promise of “big news incoming” – has set social media alight and sparked a flurry of headlines across Australian music press.
Rolling Stone Australia reports that the teaser is widely being read as confirmation that a new Foo Fighters headline run is about to be unveiled, following the band’s huge return to the stage and their ongoing world tour plans. Meanwhile, local outlets in Tasmania are going even further, suggesting that the island state is finally about to get its own stop on a future tour.
Teasers, not dates – but hype levels are already off the charts
So far, there are no official dates, venues or ticket details on the table. What fans do have is a short, carefully timed tease shared across Frontier Touring’s channels and rapidly amplified by music sites and radio pages. For a band with Foo Fighters’ touring history, that’s usually the final hint before a full announcement drops.
Reports suggest this would be the band’s first major Australian run since their 2023 stadium shows, and part of a wider cycle of touring that has already seen them lock in huge 2026 dates overseas. For Australian fans who missed out last time – or who want another chance to yell along to “Everlong” in a packed stadium – the sense of “now or wait years” is driving the frenzy.
Why Tasmania fans think they’re finally on the map
One of the most intriguing parts of the current speculation is happening well south of the mainland. Tasmanian outlet Pulse Tasmania has reported that Foo Fighters are “set to rock Tasmania in [a] new tour”, noting that Frontier’s teaser has been heavily targeted at local audiences there. For music fans on the island, who often watch major stadium tours sail past them, the idea of a Foo Fighters show on home soil is huge.
On social media, Tasmanian fans are already arguing over which venue could host the band, how quickly tickets would vanish, and whether a Hobart or Launceston date makes more sense. Even without a single confirmed detail, the hype is functioning like free advertising – and helping turn a short teaser into a full-blown national talking point.
What we actually know – and what’s still guesswork
Here’s the grounded version amid the noise. We know that:
- Frontier Touring has publicly teased “big news incoming” using Foo Fighters branding.
- Australian music media are treating it as a clear sign that an Australia tour announcement is imminent.
- Commentary from local outlets points strongly to multiple cities and a likely stadium-scale run, with Tasmania heavily rumoured.
What we don’t know yet is just as important: no dates have been confirmed, no tickets are on sale, and there’s been no official word on whether these shows will land in late 2025, 2026, or across multiple legs. Until the full announcement arrives, all talk of exact months and venues is speculation – even if some of that speculation is coming from plugged-in industry voices.
How fans can get ready before the announcement drops
If past Foo Fighters tours are any guide, tickets will move fast the moment they go live. Fans who don’t want to be left refreshing a crashed website can start preparing now:
- Sign up to the Foo Fighters and Frontier Touring mailing lists and text alerts.
- Follow the official social accounts for both the band and the promoter – these are where dates and pre-sale details will land first.
- Make sure ticketing accounts and payment details are updated before an on-sale is announced.
- If you’re outside the big capitals or in Tasmania, keep an eye on regional venue pages too – any additional dates tend to appear there early.
For now, Australia is in that deliciously tense holding pattern where nothing is confirmed, yet everyone is already planning their night out. After years of lineup changes, personal loss and a relentless touring schedule, Foo Fighters remain one of the few rock bands that can still turn a single teaser post into a national story.
Whether you’re hoping for a stadium blow-out in Sydney or a once-in-a-lifetime show in Hobart, the message is the same: keep your notifications on. When this announcement finally lands, you won’t want to be the one hearing about it second-hand.
