Foo Fighters Take Cover Tour Australia 2026: Dates, New Album, Setlist Clues & Premium Concert Transfers

Published: February 2026 | Tour presented by Frontier Touring

The Foo Fighter !

They are back. Foo Fighters — Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, one of the greatest live rock bands on the planet — are returning to Australia for the Take Cover Tour in November 2026.

Seven Australian stadium shows. Six cities. A brand new album dropping in April. And a setlist already drawing from one of the deepest and most beloved catalogues in rock history.

Whether you have had tickets since minute one or are still hunting, one thing is already worth locking in: how you get there and home. Stadium concerts at this scale — 50,000 people, one exit, every rideshare app overwhelmed simultaneously — create transport chaos that only a pre-booked chauffeur can solve.

The New Album — Your Favorite Toy (April 2026)

The Take Cover Tour is not just a greatest hits run. On 19 February 2026 — the day after the Australian tour was announced — Foo Fighters dropped the explosive new single “Your Favorite Toy” and confirmed their new album of the same name will be released on 24 April 2026.

Dave Grohl described it as “the fuse to the powder keg of songs.” That is the album Australian audiences will be hearing live for the first time in November — six months after release, with every track already well-known to fans who have been living with it since April.

This matters for the Australian shows. The setlist at these dates will almost certainly be built around Your Favorite Toy material alongside the catalogue classics. Based on the confirmed Take Cover Tour setlist from the January 2026 Mexico shows, expect:

  • All My Life
  • Times Like These
  • The Pretender
  • My Hero
  • Learn to Fly
  • Best of You
  • Monkey Wrench
  • Everlong
  • New material from Your Favorite Toy

This is also the band’s first full Australian tour with new drummer Ilan Rubin, following the departure of Josh Freese. The drumming on these shows will be something fans will be watching closely.

Foo Fighters Brisbane: Suncorp Stadium — Thu 5 November 2026

Venue: Suncorp Stadium, 40 Castlemaine Street, Milton QLD
Support: Full Flower Moon Band | Mini Skirt
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Suncorp Stadium kicks off the Australian leg — and Brisbane will be electric for it. One of Australia’s premier rectangular stadiums, Suncorp delivers extraordinary sightlines and sound from almost every seat.

Concert Transfer to Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

  • Avoid the Milton gridlock: Caxton Street and Lang Parade lock up immediately post-show. Your Cars on Demand driver uses alternate routes while the crowd is still filing out.
  • Pre-agreed pickup point: No searching for your car or waiting in a surge queue outside the gates.
  • Luxury fleet: Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi — door to door from anywhere in Greater Brisbane. View our fleet here.

Flying into Brisbane for the show? Our Brisbane airport transfer service connects your flight to your hotel — with show-night transport pre-booked in the same arrangement. Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast fans: our Gold Coast transfers and Sunshine Coast transfers cover the Brisbane run.

Foo Fighters Townsville: Queensland Country Bank Stadium — Sat 7 November 2026

Venue: Queensland Country Bank Stadium, 2 Pride Close, Railway Estate, Townsville QLD
Support: Full Flower Moon Band | DOWNGIRL
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Townsville getting its own Foo Fighters stadium show is significant. For North Queensland fans, this is genuinely once-in-a-generation. Queensland Country Bank Stadium — compact, loud, and right near the city waterfront — will create an atmosphere that larger cities cannot replicate.

Full Flower Moon Band and DOWNGIRL provide strong local support. Arrive early.

Cars on Demand provides premium chauffeur transfers for Townsville concert and corporate clients. For enquiries: admin@carsondemand.com.au | 1300 638 258.

Foo Fighters Sydney: Accor Stadium — Tue 10 November 2026

Venue: Accor Stadium, Edwin Flack Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park NSW
Support: The Belair Lip Bombs | TEENS
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Accor Stadium — 83,500 capacity, Australia’s largest — is the centrepiece of the Take Cover Tour’s Australian run. The Sydney show is the one that will sell out fastest and be talked about longest.

The Belair Lip Bombs and TEENS open. Be there from gates open.

Private Concert Transfer to Accor Stadium Sydney — Foo Fighters

  • Avoid the M4 and Parramatta Road gridlock: Both routes flood immediately after a sold-out Accor Stadium show. Your driver uses alternate route strategies to exit Olympic Park before the main congestion builds.
  • Pre-agreed meeting point: No searching the Olympic Park precinct in a 50,000-person post-show crowd. Your driver is staged and waiting.
  • Train is not the answer after midnight: Olympic Park station platforms become dangerously overcrowded after major shows. A Cars on Demand door-to-door transfer is door-to-door.
  • Luxury fleet: Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz — CBD to Accor Stadium and back, fixed price, no surge. View our vehicles here.

Full stadium pickup guide for Accor Stadium: For detailed chauffeur staging locations, recommended meeting points, and everything you need to know about being collected at Accor Stadium after a major show, see our dedicated guide: carsondemand.com.au/accor-stadium-transfers

Our Sydney transfer service covers the full Olympic Park run from any Sydney suburb or hotel. Flying in for the show? Our Sydney airport limo service connects your arrival directly to your hotel. Find your airport meeting point here.

Nearby accommodation: Novotel Sydney Olympic Park is adjacent to the venue. CBD hotels at Darling Harbour, The Star, and Sydney CBD are 15 to 20 minutes with a Cars on Demand driver.

Foo Fighters Newcastle: McDonald Jones Stadium — Thu 12 November 2026

Venue: McDonald Jones Stadium, 294 Turton Road, Broadmeadow NSW
Support: The Buoys | C.O.F.F.I.N
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Newcastle’s own Foo Fighters show — and McDonald Jones Stadium delivers a more intense, more intimate experience than a 80,000-seat arena. For fans who missed out on Sydney tickets, or who simply prefer a smaller venue atmosphere, Newcastle is the show.

The Buoys and C.O.F.F.I.N support. Both are genuinely worth arriving early for.

Sydney to Newcastle Concert Transfer — The Smart Option for Foo Fighters Fans

Here is something many Sydney fans have not considered: the Sydney to Newcastle corridor is one of the best-value concert experiences in the country for this tour.

  • Newcastle is 90 minutes from Sydney CBD — a comfortable pre-show drive in a Cars on Demand luxury vehicle
  • The venue is smaller and louder — McDonald Jones Stadium at capacity for a rock show is ferocious
  • The return journey is the key: After a Foo Fighters headline set finishing around 10:30 PM, that is a 12:00 AM arrival back in Sydney. Cars on Demand is the only luxury way to make that 160km late-night trip — your driver handles every kilometre while you decompress from one of the great concert experiences of 2026.

The Newcastle Uber problem: Post-show rideshare in Broadmeadow is severely limited. Drivers in Newcastle do not want a Broadmeadow-to-Sydney fare at 11 PM — there is no return income. The result is near-zero availability at surge pricing. Pre-book Cars on Demand and this is not your problem.

Our Sydney transfer service covers the Newcastle run in both directions. Book your Sydney-Newcastle concert transfer here.

Foo Fighters Melbourne: Marvel Stadium — Sat 14 November 2026

Venue: Marvel Stadium, 740 Bourke Street, Docklands VIC
Support: The Belair Lip Bombs | FRENZEE
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Foo Fighters on a Saturday night at Marvel Stadium. That sentence does not require further elaboration. The Belair Lip Bombs return (also playing Sydney) alongside Melbourne’s own FRENZEE.

Premium Concert Chauffeur to Marvel Stadium, Melbourne

  • Avoid the Bourke Street and Bolte Bridge pinch point: Post-show traffic from Docklands backs up immediately in both directions. Your driver stages at the agreed meeting point while the car park fills.
  • Trams are packed: Route 35 and 86 fill within minutes of the headline set finishing. Door-to-door is the better experience.
  • Fixed pricing, no surprises: Confirmed at booking, not subject to post-show surge demand.
  • Luxury fleet: Late-model Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz for Melbourne show nights. View our fleet.

Our Melbourne transfer service covers the full metropolitan area — South Yarra, St Kilda, Richmond, CBD, and airport hotel strips. Flying in for the Melbourne show? Our Melbourne airport transfer service connects your Tullamarine arrival directly to your hotel, with show-night transport pre-arranged in the same booking.

Foo Fighters Adelaide: Coopers Stadium — Tue 17 November 2026

Venue: Coopers Stadium, Holden Street, Hindmarsh SA
Support: Kurralta Park | Spooky Eyes
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Coopers Stadium in Hindmarsh is compact and loud — perfect for a rock show of this intensity. Local acts Kurralta Park and Spooky Eyes open, both worth seeing from doors.

Concert Transfer to Coopers Stadium, Adelaide

  • Hindmarsh has limited post-show rideshare: The suburb is not well-served by rideshare drivers at late-night concert times — particularly on a Tuesday.
  • Fixed-price door-to-door: From CBD, North Adelaide, Glenelg, and airport hotel precincts — confirmed before the show starts.
  • No surge, no waiting: Your driver is staged and ready when the encore ends.

Our Adelaide transfer service covers the full metropolitan area. Flying into Adelaide for the show? Our Adelaide airport transfer service connects your arrival directly to your hotel.

Foo Fighters Perth: HBF Park — Mon 25 January 2027

Venue: HBF Park, 310 Pier Street, Perth WA
Support: The Southern River Band | Last Quokka
Tickets: Buy via AXS — on sale now

Perth closes the Australian leg on Australia Day weekend — a Monday night show at HBF Park that will be one of the most anticipated rock concerts in WA in years. The Southern River Band and Last Quokka provide a genuinely exciting home-state support bill that will have the Perth crowd warm before the Foos take the stage.

Concert Transfer to HBF Park, Perth

  • Pier Street post-show gridlock: HBF Park’s central Perth location means post-concert exit traffic is significant on major show nights.
  • Australia Day weekend demand: Rideshare pricing on the Monday of a long weekend is already elevated — post-concert surge on top makes it unpredictable.
  • Pre-book and eliminate the variable: Fixed pricing, driver staged and waiting, luxury vehicle from any Perth suburb or airport hotel.

Our Perth transfer service covers HBF Park from the CBD, Subiaco, Fremantle, and all Perth Airport hotel precincts. Flying from the east coast for the show? Our Perth airport transfer service connects your terminal arrival to your hotel, with show-night transport pre-arranged as part of the same booking.

Why Pre-Booking Your Concert Transfer Matters at Stadium Shows

The post-show rideshare problem at Australian stadium concerts is structural — not bad luck.

When 50,000 people at Accor Stadium open their Uber apps within 10 minutes of each other, the rideshare network cannot service the demand. Drivers surge to maximum pricing and still cannot cover the volume. Wait times of 60 to 90 minutes are standard. Many requests return “no cars available.”

Cars on Demand operates differently:

  • Pre-booked and guaranteed — your driver is contracted before the show begins
  • Real-time show tracking — via our RideMinder technology, timing adjusted around encores
  • Professional licensed drivers — familiar with venue access and exit routes
  • Fixed pricing — confirmed at booking, not subject to post-show demand
  • Late-model luxury fleet — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi for 1 to 7 passengers. View our fleet.

Frequently Asked Questions — Foo Fighters Concert Transfers Australia

What is the best way to get to Accor Stadium for the Foo Fighters Sydney show?

A pre-booked Cars on Demand chauffeur is the best option. Train works for the journey in, but post-show Olympic Park station platforms are dangerously overcrowded and rideshare wait times are consistently 60 to 90 minutes at maximum surge. Pre-booking locks in your return before the show starts. For the full staging and pickup guide: carsondemand.com.au/accor-stadium-transfers | Book here.

Is it worth going to the Newcastle show instead of Sydney?

Absolutely — and many Sydney fans who missed out on Accor Stadium tickets are already planning it. McDonald Jones Stadium is a more intense venue for a rock show. The Cars on Demand Sydney-to-Newcastle return transfer makes the 160km late-night drive effortless — arrive in luxury, return in comfort, zero stress. Book your Sydney-Newcastle Foo Fighters transfer here.

How much do Foo Fighters Australia 2026 tickets cost?

Tickets range from $99.90 (D Reserve) to $249.90 (Front GA and A Reserve) for all Australian shows. AXS Premium tickets available up to $624.75. All tickets via AXS Australia.

Yes. Our Melbourne transfer service provides fixed-price door-to-door concert transfers to Marvel Stadium from anywhere in Greater Melbourne. Book at carsondemand.link/register.

Based on the confirmed Take Cover Tour setlist from January 2026 shows in Mexico, expect All My Life, Times Like These, The Pretender, My Hero, Learn to Fly, Best of You, Monkey Wrench, and Everlong — plus new material from the Your Favorite Toy album (released 24 April 2026).
