Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Dave Grohl has been everywhere this week with a string of headlines, new music, and public appearances that once again have him at the center of the rock universe. The Foo Fighters frontman led the announcement of the 2026 Take Cover Tour, which will see his band headline stadiums across North America next summer in their biggest trek since 2024, sharing top billing with Queens of the Stone Age – significant given Grohl’s history with both bands. Tickets went on sale October 31 following an avalanche of media buzz, and the tour will kick off August 4 in Toronto before hitting major cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Las Vegas, with speculation among fans and outlets like ABC News and Ticketmaster that the name 'Take Cover' hints at a mix of new originals and inspired cover sets.
Amid all this, Grohl dropped a fresh single, “Asking for a Friend,” described by Consequence.net and Cult Following as a message of hope for those standing on the edge, waiting for a sense of renewal. Critical reception so far suggests the track doesn't reinvent the wheel but offers a reliable dose of Foo Fighters' signature sound, with Grohl’s vocals giving longtime fans a sense of stability after what reviewers called a difficult 2025.
Just before the tour news broke, the band’s new lineup with drummer Ilan Rubin – now officially welcomed into the fold after replacing Josh Freese, himself once a fill-in after the tragic passing of Taylor Hawkins – played a widely reported Amazon Music Live set in Los Angeles October 30. Grohl's energetic introduction of Rubin as “the most badass motherfucker” on drums made headlines with industry blogs and created chatter among fans about the chemistry of the retooled lineup. YouTube and Tone Deaf showcased live clips from that show, confirming Grohl’s continued devotion to live performance.
On the personal front, People Magazine spotlighted Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum making their first red-carpet walk since a “secret baby” reveal, stoking gentle gossip columns but handled with the usual Grohl cool. Paparazzi snapped him later that week buying Oasis merch at the Rose Bowl, sparking viral posts reported by The Riff Report and stoking rumors of his support for a possible Oasis reunion, though no collaboration has been confirmed.
Finally, Grohl was featured in a prime-time interview segment for the new documentary “AC/DC – The World’s Greatest Rock Band,” sharing stories with Slash and others as 7NEWS previewed clips. Across multiple platforms, the push for the Take Cover tour, new music releases, personal milestones, and a handful of viral social sightings add up to a blitz of Grohl news that carries both career and pop culture weight. As the rock world eyes the upcoming stadium dates, Dave Grohl remains the indefatigable force driving Foo Fighters and, for a moment, the entire conversation around American rock.
