AceShowbiz - Foo Fighters launched a series of intimate UK and Ireland shows with a hit-packed performance in Dublin on Monday night (February 23).
The band, fronted by Dave Grohl, played a raucous set at the 850-capacity Academy venue. They opened with 'All My Life' and delivered a career-spanning list of songs including 'Times Like These', 'The Pretender', 'My Hero', and 'Everlong'.
The setlist featured new material from their upcoming twelfth album, such as the single 'Your Favorite Toy' and another new track, 'Of All People'. The band also revisited deeper cuts from their early years like 'This Is A Call', 'Exhausted', and 'Big Me'.
This concert followed a shorter, even more intimate set the band played at St James' Church in Dublin on Sunday, February 22.
To attend these special shows, fans had to queue outside the venues at 12pm on the day tickets were released. Tickets were priced at £99 each, with a limit of two per person, and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Following the Dublin date, Foo Fighters will play London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Wednesday, February 25, and Manchester's O2 Ritz on Friday, February 27.
The band has a much larger tour scheduled for later in the year. This includes a European stadium tour with two nights at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium in June, a North American stadium tour this summer, and an Australian and New Zealand tour slated for late 2026 and early 2027.
Foo Fighters announced their new album, 'Your Favorite Toy', last week. It is set for release on April 24. Grohl has described the album as being stacked with "noisy, loud bangers" that recall the band's earlier sound.
