The Foo Fighters have officially announced their monumental 2026 Super Bowl Show, marking one of the biggest live events of their career. The legendary rock band is set to bring their explosive energy and anthemic sound to the world’s grandest stage, confirming that their performance will headline the halftime show in front of millions of fans across the globe. The announcement came with the reveal of a special pre-Super Bowl tour leading up to the big night — and the excitement in the rock community is already off the charts.
The band, fronted by Dave Grohl, expressed their gratitude to fans for decades of unwavering support, promising a show unlike anything they’ve done before. “We’re going all in for this,” Grohl said in a recent interview. “The Super Bowl is one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we’re going to make it loud, emotional, and unforgettable.” With a reputation for turning every performance into an experience, Foo Fighters’ 2026 appearance is expected to blend heart, nostalgia, and raw power.
Before the main Super Bowl event, the Foo Fighters will embark on a short but intense stadium tour across North America. The band revealed a string of live shows in early 2026, bringing fans a taste of what’s to come on the big day. The tour will kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on January 14, then move to Las Vegas, Nevada on January 17, followed by Los Angeles, California on January 21, and Dallas, Texas on January 25. Each city promises a fully loaded setlist featuring their greatest hits and surprise collaborations.
The energy will continue as the Foo Fighters head to Chicago, Illinois on January 28, Miami, Florida on February 1, and New Orleans, Louisiana on February 5. The final stop before the Super Bowl will be Houston, Texas on February 7, just two days before their long-awaited halftime performance. The band hinted that these shows will serve as a build-up to the explosive finale at the 2026 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Fans are already calling this the “rock comeback of the decade.” The Foo Fighters’ Super Bowl announcement sent waves through social media, with artists and celebrities expressing excitement to see real rock take center stage again. With the recent resurgence of live rock performances on major stages, the Foo Fighters are poised to lead the charge — blending old-school authenticity with a modern spectacle.
Production insiders have revealed that the show will feature a massive multi-stage setup, complete with pyrotechnics, drones, and immersive LED visuals designed to echo the band’s signature style — gritty, emotional, and larger-than-life. The halftime setlist is rumored to include timeless anthems like Everlong, The Pretender, and Best of You, alongside a few surprises that fans won’t see coming.
Grohl has also teased the possibility of special guests joining the band on stage. While names haven’t been confirmed, fans are speculating collaborations with artists from both rock and pop genres — bridging generations and styles in a way only the Foo Fighters can. The band’s long history of embracing musical diversity makes such surprises not only possible but expected.
In a statement shared on their official site, the Foo Fighters said, “Music connects us all. The Super Bowl is more than a game — it’s one of the few moments the entire world watches together. We’re honored to bring real instruments, real sweat, and real emotion to that stage.” The announcement reflects their trademark authenticity, a quality that’s kept them among the most respected bands in the world.
Tickets for the 2026 pre-Super Bowl tour will go on sale starting October 25, 2025, with early access available to members of the Foo Fighters fan club. Given the buzz surrounding the Super Bowl show, fans are advised to act fast — venues are expected to sell out almost instantly. Each ticket purchase will include exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content leading up to the halftime event.
As the countdown begins, the Foo Fighters stand on the brink of yet another historic milestone. From small clubs to global stadiums, their journey continues to embody rock’s undying spirit. Their upcoming 2026 Super Bowl performance is more than just another gig — it’s a celebration of resilience, unity, and the unbreakable connection between music and the human heart. Fans around the world are ready, and the Foo Fighters are tuning up to make history once again.
