While fans enthusiastically anticipate the return of rock icons Foo Fighters to stages across Asia, the band has officially disclosed their ambitious touring plans for late 2025, with confirmed performances scheduled across Southeast Asia and Japan. The tour announcement, shared across the band’s official platforms and Live Nation, reveals a strategic sequence of appearances beginning October 2 at Jakarta’s Carnaval Ancol, followed by an October 4 performance at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
The Asian leg continues with shows at Tokyo’s prestigious Saitama Super Arena on October 7 and concludes at Glion Arena Kobe in Osaka on October 10. This carefully plotted route suggests the band is targeting key international markets while maximizing their presence in the region during the early autumn timeframe.
Concert-goers can expect roughly two to two-and-a-half hour performances featuring the band’s signature high-energy rock sound. The band’s reputation for energetic performances has contributed significantly to their impressive attendance numbers over the years. Setlists from recent performances indicate fans will likely hear opening favorites like “Enough Space” and “All My Life,” alongside established crowd-pleasers including “The Pretender” and “My Hero.” Encore performances typically showcase classics such as “Monkey Wrench” and the perennial closer “Everlong.”
Tickets are currently available through the band’s official website and established event platforms, with mailing list subscriptions offered for those seeking timely updates on additional tour dates or potential last-minute announcements. Band management has emphasized the importance of thorough soundchecks at each venue to ensure optimal acoustic quality for these high-profile performances. The production team is implementing advanced acoustic treatment techniques at each venue to optimize sound quality for the vocal-heavy portions of their set.
Notably absent from the band’s communications are any mentions of new studio projects or album releases coinciding with the 2025 tour dates. While the group’s historical pattern suggests possible new material around extensive touring periods, official announcements regarding fresh musical projects remain conspicuously absent. Questions remain about who will be behind the drum kit following Josh Freese’s dismissal from the band after nearly two years.
The tour’s current focus on Asian venues, without announced North American or European legs, has sparked speculation about potential expansion to additional markets later in 2025. For now, fans can only confirm the four Asian dates while the remainder of the Foo Fighters’ 2025 global strategy remains intriguingly under wraps.
