A few days ago Frontier Touring dropped a quiet teaser. A countdown, a logo, and suddenly half the country was convinced that a full Foo Fighters Australian Tour for 2026 was about to be announced.
Fans started guessing dates, cities and venues, and it felt like another national run was imminent.
Instead, we’ve ended up with something a little sharper: Foo Fighters will play one night only at UTAS Stadium in Launceston on Saturday 24 January 2026. One show. One city. And right now, Tasmania is the only place in Australia that gets them.
It’s a huge moment for Launceston and a curveball for everyone else who was already preparing to fight for tickets in Sydney or Melbourne. Most fans are already betting that a full Foo Fighters Australian tour will be announced later in the year while they’re here. But as it stands, the only locked-in date is Tasmania. Back in 2022 they did the same thing with a one-off show in Geelong, and the full Australian tour was announced just a few days later.
This will be Foo Fighters’ first Tasmanian performance since 2015 and their first ever show in Launceston. Their last Australian run in late 2023 was a sold-out stadium sweep across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, touring their album But Here We Are. Those shows were loud, fast and genuinely heavy, with Grohl pushing every crowd until nobody had a voice left. This will also be the band’s first Australian show since Josh Freese was removed from the lineup earlier this year.
Their Launceston show will also mark their 14th visit to Australia. Foo Fighters have a reputation for taking regional shows seriously. The 2022 Geelong one-off became instant folklore, and UTAS Stadium now looks set for the same treatment. Frontier Touring has confirmed Full Flower Moon Band and Spooky Eyes as the support acts, which gives the night the right kind of local energy.

Why This Show Matters
Foo Fighters have sold more than 1.8 million records in Australia and have more number one albums here than in any other country. Their new singles Asking For A Friend and Today’s Song show there’s still plenty of fire in the tank, and their 2026 touring schedule across the UK, Europe and North America is massive.
A one-night-only Foo Fighters show in Tasmania is rare. It’s a regional stadium becoming the country’s biggest stage for a night, and it feels like the first step toward a bigger Australian announcement later in 2026.
If you want Foo Fighters Tasmania tickets, UTAS Stadium is the only place they’re playing. And when a band like this hits a city like Launceston, it’s not just a concert. It’s a moment.
Foo Fighters play UTAS Stadium in Launceston on 24 January 2026. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.com.au.
