" Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we've realized why we love and are still devoted to this band, Foo Fighters," Dave Grohl said in a statement. " From reuniting with a 30-year-old set list of songs to forget, to reinventing versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin on drums, to reuniting with our incredible fans and bombarding them with all our might (regardless of the size of the venue), because we wouldn't be here without them, we have a solid core. And the sun is finally rising on the horizon, " he added.

It's worth noting that the Foo Fighters' last concert in France was in 2024. That year, the American band gave a unique show at Hellfest. Six years earlier, Dave Grohl and his bandmates had stopped by Brétigny-sur-Orge for the Download Festival Paris.

In 2017, the Americans performed at the Accor Arena in Paris. Nine years after their last appearance in the capital, Foo Fighters are preparing to set the Paris La Défense Arena alight on June 19, 2026. This will be Foo Fighters' first Paris concert without drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away on March 25, 2022.

Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and the rest of the band will take this opportunity to perform their new songs live, including " Asking for a Friend." But the band will certainly not shy away from playing several of their old hits. These include " The Pretender," " Best of You," " Everlong," " Learn to Fly," and " My Hero."
