The rock world just got louder as Foo Fighters and Bryan Adams officially announced their joint 2026 Music Festival Tour — a powerhouse collaboration fans never saw coming but everyone wanted. The two icons, representing different generations of rock excellence, are set to take the stage together in a once-in-a-lifetime global tour that celebrates raw energy, timeless hits, and the spirit of live music. Fans around the world have already started buzzing, and tickets are expected to sell out faster than any tour in recent memory.
The announcement came during a surprise joint livestream, where Dave Grohl and Bryan Adams shared laughs, memories, and a genuine excitement about performing together. “We’ve both been through decades of rock evolution,” Grohl said. “This is about bringing it all together — heart, sweat, and guitars.” Adams added with his signature grin, “It’s not just a concert, it’s a celebration of everything that still makes live music magic.” Their chemistry alone convinced fans that this tour would be unforgettable.
The 2026 tour will span major cities across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. The journey begins in Los Angeles, California on June 10, followed by shows in Seattle (June 14), Chicago (June 18), and New York City (June 22). From there, the tour will head north to Toronto (June 26) before making its way to London (July 2) and Manchester (July 5). Fans in Paris (July 8) and Berlin (July 12) will then get their turn to witness the rock spectacle.
After Europe, the pair will continue to Sydney (July 25) and Melbourne (July 29) before wrapping up in Tokyo, Japan on August 4. Each location will feature a multi-day festival setup, bringing together not just Foo Fighters and Bryan Adams, but also a rotating lineup of rising rock bands and classic guest performers. Rumors suggest surprise appearances from names like Lenny Kravitz, Kings of Leon, and The Killers at select shows.
What makes this tour particularly special is its theme — “Legends and Lifelines.” The concept celebrates the artists who have carried rock music across eras, connecting fans of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s into one unified experience. The setlists will reportedly blend Foo Fighters’ thunderous anthems like Everlong and The Pretender with Bryan Adams classics such as Summer of ’69 and Run to You. Both artists have also hinted at debuting a brand-new collaborative track written exclusively for this tour.
Production teams are pulling out all the stops to make the shows visually spectacular. Fans can expect massive LED stage designs, cinematic lighting setups, and pyrotechnics synchronized with live guitar solos. Dave Grohl, known for his spontaneous crowd interactions, is planning a few intimate acoustic moments each night, while Adams will reportedly perform a heartfelt solo set to honor fellow musicians lost over the decades.
Behind the scenes, the collaboration between the two rock icons has been described as “effortlessly natural.” In interviews, Adams noted that Grohl’s down-to-earth personality reminded him of his early touring days. “We just clicked,” he said. “There’s no ego here — just two musicians who love what they do and want to share that love with everyone out there.” Grohl echoed that sentiment, calling Adams “one of the purest storytellers in music.”
The excitement around the festival tour is also driven by the promise of an inclusive, community-focused atmosphere. In several cities, local bands will be chosen through a contest to open each show, giving young artists the chance to perform in front of thousands. Both Foo Fighters and Bryan Adams have championed this initiative, aiming to pass the torch to the next generation of rock musicians.
Fans have already begun organizing meetups, travel groups, and online countdowns as the anticipation builds. Social media has been flooded with posts from long-time followers who grew up on Bryan Adams’ heartfelt ballads and Foo Fighters’ rebellious energy. “It feels like the past and present are finally shaking hands,” one fan tweeted after the announcement.
The Foo Fighters x Bryan Adams 2026 Music Festival Tour is shaping up to be more than just a concert — it’s a historic event that unites decades of rock passion into one unforgettable summer. As Adams put it best, “Music is meant to bring people together, and this tour is about exactly that.” For fans across the globe, the countdown to June has already begun — and every city on that tour list is about to feel the roar of rock once again.
