Foo Fighters have taken the stage in Tasmania tonight, delivering a rare one-night-only performance at Launceston’s UTAS Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd.
The show marks the band’s only Australian appearance during their current visit, with fans travelling from across the country to attend the highly anticipated event. Tickets sold out rapidly following the announcement, with the concert quickly becoming one of the most talked-about live music events in Australia this summer.
Tonight’s performance is Foo Fighters’ first show in Tasmania since 2015 and their first ever stadium show in Launceston. The event has been widely described as a significant moment for the state’s live music scene, with UTAS Stadium hosting tens of thousands of fans for the one-off concert.
Support duties for the night are being handled by Brisbane’s Full Flower Moon Band and local Tasmanian trio Spooky Eyes. Both acts were announced as part of the lineup when the show was revealed and have drawn strong early crowd response.
The Tasmania concert also holds importance as one of Foo Fighters’ most prominent Australian performances since returning to the stage in 2023. The band’s recent live shows have been noted for their length and energy, with audiences responding strongly to the mix of well-known songs and deeper catalogue material.
Interest in the Launceston show has been reflected in a surge of online searches and social media activity throughout the day, with fans sharing images from outside the venue and documenting the atmosphere as the night unfolded. Local businesses and accommodation providers have also reported increased activity, with the event bringing a large number of visitors to the region.
As the show continues, further details including the full setlist and key moments are expected to emerge. A full recap of Foo Fighters’ Tasmania performance will follow once the concert concludes.
