Foo Fighters Take Cover Tour Australia 2026: Dates, Venues and Concert Transport Guide

Quick answer: The Foo Fighters Take Cover Tour opens in Australia at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, on Thursday 5 November 2026. Gates open at 4:00pm and the show starts at 5:30pm (local Queensland time). The tour then plays Townsville, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Adelaide in November, with Perth closing the Australian leg on Monday 25 January 2027. Suncorp Stadium has no public event parking, so the easiest door-to-door option is a pre-booked chauffeur with a pickup point agreed before the show.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Foo Fighters are back for their 15th visit to Australia, and the Brisbane show is now only days away. Whether you are after a private car, a limo service for a night out, a people mover for your group or an executive transfer for clients, this guide covers every Australian date, what to expect at each stadium and how to get there and home without the post-show scramble.

Foo Fighters Australia 2026 Tour Dates and Venues

Here is every Australian date on the Take Cover Tour, with the local support acts handpicked by the band. Full tour details are on the Frontier Touring Foo Fighters page, and tickets are sold through AXS, the authorised ticketing agent.

The band also plays Christchurch and Auckland in January 2027 before the Perth finale.

Foo Fighters Brisbane: Suncorp Stadium, Thursday 5 November 2026

Brisbane kicks off the Australian leg, and it is the first stadium show of the tour. These are the official event-day details published by Suncorp Stadium.

All times are local Queensland time and can change, so check the venue page again in the week of the show.

Is There Parking at Suncorp Stadium for the Foo Fighters?

No. Suncorp Stadium is a public transport venue and does not offer event parking. On event days, 15-minute parking limits generally apply across the Lang Park Traffic Area, roughly a 1.5km radius around the stadium, from two hours before gates open until after the event. On-the-spot fines apply. In practice, driving yourself means parking well outside Milton and walking in, then doing the same in reverse with 50,000 other people.

How to Get to Suncorp Stadium: Transport Options Compared

Public transport is a genuine option and it is free with your ticket, so plan your trip on Translink event transport if that suits you. A private car hire makes the most sense when you are travelling as a group, coming from outside the train network, flying in, or simply want to walk out of the stadium and into a waiting car.

Recommended Night-of Timeline for Foo Fighters Brisbane

• 3:00pm to 3:45pm: Chauffeur pickup from the CBD, inner suburbs or South Bank hotels. Allow more time from the bayside, northside or outer suburbs, as this is a Thursday afternoon.
• Before 4:30pm: Aim to arrive before the stadium's Traffic Management Plan begins, when roads around the precinct get busier and more restricted.
• 4:00pm: Gates open. Catch Full Flower Moon Band and Mini Skirt.
• 5:30pm: Show start.
• Around 10:00pm onwards: The venue's rideshare geofence starts at 10:10pm, a good guide to when the crowd begins to leave. Your chauffeur confirms your pickup point by SMS before the show ends, so you walk straight to the car.

Setlists are not announced in advance and can change from night to night.

Why Pre-Book a Chauffeur for a Stadium Concert?

When a stadium of more than 50,000 people empties at once, trains, taxi ranks and rideshare apps all hit peak demand at the same moment. A pre-booked chauffeur takes that problem off the table.

• Fixed price confirmed at booking: book early to lock in your rate before event-night pricing applies.
• Your driver is booked before the show starts: no searching for a car outside the gates.
• Live tracking and flight monitoring: powered by RideMinder technology, which uses Cirium aviation data for flight tracking.
• Professional, accredited drivers who know event traffic and pickup points.
• Late-model fleet: sedans, SUVs and people movers for 1 to 7 passengers, with larger groups coordinated across multiple vehicles.
