Foo Fighters - Take Cover Tour 2026 brings new album to Germany
Published on 08/22/2026 at 17:57 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Foo Fighters extend their 2026 live run with stadium shows in Germany as they roll out their new album Your Favorite Toy. According to a Berlin event listing and regional press, the band plays Munich’s Allianz Arena on June 17 and Berlin’s Olympiastadion on July 1, 2026 as part of the Take Cover Tour 2026.
German dates on the Take Cover Tour 2026
The German anchor of Foo Fighters’ current campaign is clear: the band is booked for two large-scale stadium shows, first at Allianz Arena in Munich on June 17, 2026 and then at Olympiastadion Berlin on July 1, 2026. A detailed Berlin ticket page outlines both dates as part of the Take Cover Tour 2026 and confirms Berlin as a late-afternoon start with a 4:45 p.m. door time. The Berlin event listing also notes that Germany receives exactly these two shows.
Support acts in Germany underline the tour’s rock focus. In Munich, Irish band Inhaler and Japanese punk outfit Otoboke Beaver open the night, while in Berlin British acts Fat Dog and IDLES are billed before Foo Fighters take the stage. This pairing places Foo Fighters alongside a younger wave of guitar bands, a deliberate curatorial choice highlighted in German music coverage of the announcement.
How the 2026 tour stretches beyond Germany
Germany sits inside a broader European stadium run that takes Foo Fighters through major markets across the continent before the tour swings onward to North America. A Munich-based venue announcement describes the route starting on June 10, 2026 in Oslo and closing on July 10 in Lisbon, with stops including Stockholm, Warsaw, Paris and multiple dates in Liverpool. The Allianz Arena concert preview lists Munich on June 17 as part of this run and reiterates Berlin’s Olympiastadion date on July 1.
Beyond Europe, the live cycle continues into a North American stadium leg from early August through late September 2026. Ticketing information from an official sales partner shows shows starting on August 4 in Toronto and moving through Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Nashville, Washington, Vancouver and Las Vegas, among others. The Ticketmaster tour overview confirms the branding as the Take Cover Tour 2026 and lists twelve stadium dates in Canada and the United States.

How the new album Your Favorite Toy fits in
Alongside the tour, Foo Fighters are promoting their twelfth studio album Your Favorite Toy, released on April 24, 2026 through Roswell Records and RCA. Press coverage around the release describes the record as a high-energy follow-up to their 2023 album But Here We Are, with the title track and the single Asking For A Friend setting the tone.
The tracklist combines new material such as Caught in the Echo, Of All People, Window and Unconditional with the previously released single Asking For A Friend. Music media emphasize how the sound draws from hard rock, 1970s glam and power pop, keeping the band’s trademark stadium choruses intact while sharpening the production for contemporary rock radio.
Where Foo Fighters stand right now
Foo Fighters currently operate as one of the few global rock bands capable of routing consecutive stadium runs in Europe and North America while still issuing new albums on a roughly three-year cycle. With Your Favorite Toy extending the studio catalog to twelve albums and the Take Cover Tour 2026 filling arenas and stadiums, their status as a headline rock act remains firmly intact.
