Foo Fighters Announce Surprise Bakersfield Pop-Up Show Following Korn Homage

The Foo Fighters announced a surprise pop-up concert at the Nile Theater in Bakersfield, California, set for November 3, 2025, with tickets selling out quickly through in-person sales at the Fox Theater. Dave Grohl teased the event by posting a photo wearing a Korn Adidas tracksuit, paying homage to the nu-metal band from Bakersfield, which was acknowledged by Korn members on Instagram. The band's Bakersfield show is part of a series of intimate pop-up concerts following their September performances, marking the first live appearances with new drummer Ilan Rubin. Tickets were priced at $30 and required physical credit cards for purchase, with strict entry policies including ID verification and full party attendance. The group plans to continue with a full North American stadium tour in summer 2026, following their recent live EP release benefiting local charities. The event highlights the band's ongoing efforts to connect with fans through surprise shows and community engagement.
