Foo Fighters released their debut, self-titled album in June 1995, and the band celebrated its 30th anniversary by sharing a cover of Minor Threat's 1981 track "I Don't Wanna Hear It" that was recorded over the course of the past three decades. As the YouTube description points out, the instrumentation was recorded in 1995 and the vocals were recorded in 2025.

The band has kept quiet since Dave Grohl revealed he welcomed a new baby outside his marriage in September. After the news broke, the band reportedly cancelled their 2025 touring plans. Grohl's kept himself busy this year. In January, he spent his birthday cooking food for people displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires; in February, he reunited Nirvana with Post Malone for the SNL 50th Anniversary concert; in March, he teamed up with Jack Black for a new song on A Minecraft Movie's soundtrack; and in April he surprised Coachella festival goers by playing “The Sky Is a Neighborhood” and “Everlong” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as well as performing a surprise set at a school fundraiser in Los Angeles.

That being said, they do have two shows scheduled for this year: a set at the Singapore Grand Prix on October 4 and at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City on November 14. They last played live on August 18, 2024 at Seattle's T-Mobile Park.

These shows will be their first after firing drummer Josh Freese, who replaced Taylor Hawkins after his tragic death in 2022. The band has yet to announce their new drummer.
