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, with a couple of shows at Anfield.

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.

When are Foo Fighters playing Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium?

The two dates are as follows:

  • Thursday June 25 2026
  • Saturday June 27 2026

What time do doors open at Anfield?

Gates open on each day at 4pm. There’s no early entry.

What time will Foo Fighters come on stage?

Timings haven’t been confirmed. However, a Foo Fighters fan page on Facebook reckons the band will come on a 7.15pm each night. That’s from a ‘leaked’ stewards’ memo, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Previous dates on the same tour have seen the band take to the stage at around 8pm. As always, get down early to get a good spot (if you’re standing) or to see the support acts (more on those below).
