Foo Fighters have officially announced they will return to the UK in the summer of 2024 with a Cardiff date on the tour.
The band, fronted by Dave Grohl, officially announced their tour on Monday, June 26, just days after appearing as surprise guests at Glastonbury Festival under the guise of mystery acts The Churn-ups. They told the crowd they would tour the UK in 2024 and have now released dates.
Their 2024 tour will be their first in the UK without their late drummer Taylor Hawkins who died in March 2022 aged 50. In September of the same year the band played a huge memorial concert to their bandmate to 90,000 fans.

Announcing the tour on Twitter, the band shared dates on Tuesday with a gig at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on June 25, 2024, just days after Taylor Swift performs. They will also play in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. You will be able to buy tickets here.
The band last performed in Cardiff in 2007 in the Motorpoint Arena and before that supported Oasis at the then-named Millennium Stadium on the Noise and Confusion tour. There have long been rumours that the band were to tour next year and lots of fans had been begging them to include a Cardiff date.
Commenting on the band's cheeky post announcing a tour but not dates one person said: "Please please come to Cardiff, fantastic venue in the city center" and another added "@principalitysta in Cardiff is the best stadium in the world. Just saying...".
Dan Minty, who runs fan guide Minty's Gig Guide and is heavily involved in Cardiff's music scene, has long been asking for the band to come to the Principality Stadium. For weeks he has been posting open letters to Dave Grohl and Co begging them to include Cardiff on their next date. The latest one read: "Dear Foo Fighters, please announce a Welsh date for your upcoming 2024 tour (OR WE RIOT!). Time and time again. Our love, Cariad mawr. The Population of Wales."
The Foo Fighters' set at Glastonbury was remarkable. Dave Grohl went on to play guitar with Guns n Roses and drums with The Pretenders during the weekend. Wet Leg will support in Cardiff and the huge gig will be opened by Cardiff rock band, Himalayas. Hear first about the latest big gigs in Wales, sign up to our What's On newsletter
