Foo Fighters have announced another intimate pop-up show in the US. Find all the details below.

The band returned to the stage at the 900-capacity Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California, earlier this month – marking their first gig in over a year.

A second performance then took place at The Observatory in Santa Ana, before a date at the Black Cat in Washington DC last Sunday (September 21).

Now, Dave Grohl and co. have confirmed that they’ll be playing at the 1,000-capacity Toad’s Place in New Haven, Connecticut, tonight (Tuesday September 23).

“NEW HAVEN, CT!!! YOU’RE NEXT!!! 🤘,” the Foos wrote on social media alongside the official tour poster.

They also shared some “fine print” details on tickets, which went on sale “in person only” at the venue yesterday (Monday September 22). They were priced at $30, with a limit of two per customer.

For those who were lucky enough to bag tickets, doors are set to open at approximately 6pm ET tonight. Attendees are required to take physical ID to gain entry. The event is general admission standing only.

Last week, the Foos teased that “there’s more to come” soon in a tongue-in-cheek AI video. They said they’d been  “preparing something special” and “rehearsing tirelessly” to give audiences their “best” shows “from the heart”.

Ahead of their current run of small gigs, Foo Fighters called on fans to “assemble” and began sharing some photos from the studio – suggesting that new music is on the horizon. They instructed their followers to sign up for “info you won’t want to miss… just sayin’”.

The band’s 11th and latest album, ‘But Here We Are’, arrived in 2023. It marked their first material since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins the previous year, and saw them enlist Josh Freese as a touring sticksman.

This summer, they celebrated their 30th anniversary by sharing a new track called ‘Today’s Song’. Earlier this year, Freese announced that he had departed the Foos after they “decided to go in a different direction with their drummer”. The group have since hired Ilan Rubinessentially swapping Nine Inch Nails for their ex-touring drummer Freese.

Following his first shows with Foo Fighters, Rubin spoke out about joining the line-up. “After keeping my head down for a couple wild months and throwing myself into the material, that first show was such an incredible release of energy,” he said.

“I’ve been taken aback by all the positivity and support, and I just wanted to say thanks! Excited for all the volume and sweat that lies ahead.”

Freese recently addressed being let go from Foo Fighters: “Looking back, it was probably more an issue with their management.” However, the drummer said the Foos’ material “wasn’t music that I really resonated with”. He returned to Nine Inch Nails last month for their North American ‘Peel It Back’ tour.

When sharing ‘Today’s Song’, Grohl thanked every former member of the band for their contributions throughout the years. He praised “the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese”, and said Hawkins was “still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever”.
