Foo Fighters Return with Surprise California Fremont Theater Show

The Foo Fighters have announced an intimate surprise show on September 13 at the 900-capacity Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California, marking their return to live performances after a hiatus that began in September 2024 following frontman Dave Grohl's public admission of infidelity. The band recently underwent a lineup change, with drummer Josh Freese being replaced by Ilan Rubin from Nine Inch Nails in May, a trade that coincided with Freese joining Nine Inch Nails ahead of their tour. Tickets for the Fremont Theater show are limited, available only in person at the box office with a two-ticket limit per person, and fans can line up starting at 7 a.m. PST. This event precedes the Foo Fighters' scheduled international tour, which kicks off in October with dates in Jakarta, Singapore, Japan, and Mexico, including a performance at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The band is also teasing new music, sharing a snippet alongside the concert announcement. This return to performing is notable as the Foo Fighters have been largely quiet on the live front since Grohl's personal revelations and the lineup changes earlier this year.
