Foo Fighters Book First Show of 2025 at Singapore F1 Grand Prix

The Foo Fighters have booked their first gig of 2025. The veteran rockers announced on Tuesday night (May 13) that they will headline day two (October 4) of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix concerts as part of a three-day roster of all-star shows supporting the race. “Singapore. See you soon!!!” the band wrote in the announcement.

The Foos will take to the Padang Stage with fellow headliner DJ/producer Alan Walker, at the event that will also feature South Korean rapper/singers CL and G-Dragon, Indonesian pop singer Putri Ariani and Singapore pop group Oakë on Oct. 3. Crowded House, Babymetal, English indie rockers The Lathums and U.K. singer Tom Grennan will perform on Oct. 4 and Elton John, the Smashing Pumpkins and Wombats headline on Oct. 5; check out the full lineup here.

The October appearance by the Foos will be their first full-length gig since August 2024 and is currently the only show on their roster this year. The full band has not appeared together on stage since Grohl announced in September that he’d fathered a daughter outside of his marriage to wife of 22 years Jordyn Blum. After the news, the Foos canceled their scheduled headlining spot at the Soundside Music Festival in Connecticut.

And while the band has been off the radar, Grohl has kept busy, serving meals to L.A. wildfire victims on his 56th birthday in January and reuniting with his surviving Nirvana bandmates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear at that month’s all-star FireAid LA benefit concert, where they played an unannounced set with HerVana, with St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett and Grohl’s 18-year-old daughter, Violet, taking lead vocals. The reunion got a different face in February when the legendary grunge group teamed up with Post Malone for a “Post Nirvana” set during the three-hour SNL50: The Homecoming Concert prime-time special.

Grohl also made a surprise appearance during weekend two of Coachella last month, when he hopped up with his guitar to perform orchestral versions of the FF songs “The Sky Is a Neighborhood” and “Everlong” with maestro Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
