Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Dave Grohl has commanded headlines this week by orchestrating one of the more playful and memorable Foo Fighters moments in recent memory. On Saturday, November 1, he sparked widespread speculation and fan excitement by posting an Instagram photo of himself clad in a Korn-branded Adidas tracksuit with the cheeky caption, “This time of year always makes me think of Kornfields.” The post drew immediate attention from the nu-metal world, as Korn frontman Jonathan Davis jumped into the comments with “I’ll send you one of mine,” heart and laugh emojis, while other band members joined the banter, showing Grohl’s enduring talent for rock diplomacy and winking tributes. Fans and industry watchers alike speculated whether Grohl was teasing a show in Bakersfield, Korn’s hometown, or simply enjoying some playful social media engagement.
The speculation was short-lived. On Sunday morning, Foo Fighters dropped the news: they’d play a pop-up show at the Nile Theater in downtown Bakersfield on Monday, November 3—their first-ever performance in the city. Tickets were sold only in person at the Fox Theater, and hundreds lined up at sunrise, with local news documenting the mad scramble for entry. According to Consequence of Sound and Bakersfield Now, the concert sold out instantly as Grohl mania swept Kern County. Grohl’s social media stunt thus became major music news, blending nostalgia, local pride, and spontaneous rock glory in a way few artists today can pull off.
Monday’s show was a marathon 26-song affair, featuring the live debut of Foo Fighters’ cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It”—a track recorded in 1995 but only released this past June—which immediately gave punk fans something to buzz about. Classic Foo Fighters hits like “All My Life,” “Times Like These,” and “Everlong” rounded out the experience. The event also delivered some quirky Grohl touches: Bakersfield record store Going Underground raffled off a mixtape made by Grohl himself, with tracks from Fugazi, L7, St. Vincent, Beastie Boys, and more, showing his signature blend of curation and humility.
This surprise Bakersfield concert wasn’t a one-off. Grohl, now joined by new drummer Ilan Rubin, has led Foo Fighters through several intimate pop-up shows in September in venues like The Observatory and The Black Cat. Each has channeled a return to sweaty club roots. The band released a live EP from these gigs—Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1—with sales benefiting city food charities.
On the business front, Foo Fighters recently announced the massive Take Cover Tour 2026, with Grohl confirming stadium dates across North America, supported by Queens of the Stone Age and appearances from buzzy acts like Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away. Social media continues to buzz about the release of their second single of 2025, “Asking for a Friend”—which Grohl promises is “one of many songs to come.” All these fresh developments—surprise concerts, new music, the ever-present Grohl social media playfulness—signal not just another busy week for the Foo Fighters’ frontman, but a reignited phase of creative energy that will likely define his biography for years to come.
