Foo Fighters only have two stadium tour dates in the UK this summer and they’re both in Liverpool. Dave Grohl and co are currently on a huge Take Cover European Tour and they’re halfway through their dates at Anfield: one down, one to go. 

Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin are in the UK for the first time since 2024. They’re touring following the release of 2026 album Your Favorite Toy, which is Foo Fighters’ 12th studio record and came out in April.

Weather forecast

Here’s the weather forecast for Anfield on the final Foo Fighters date:

  • Saturday June 27 – a slight chance of rain throughout the evening, highs of 27C and lows of 20C.

What to expect from Foo Fighters at Anfield

The Liverpool Echo rounded up takeaways from the first date, noting that the show was hot (obviously, there was a weather warning for extreme heat), family friendly and packed with hits. The newspaper also reckoned that red smoke filled the arena in a tribute to Liverpool FC, which will no doubt have been contentious with the blue half of the city.
