Foo Fighters currently have no tour dates listed on their website, nor have any been announced on their Instagram page. However, in an interview with Le Parisien, Hellfest founder Ben Barbaud claimed that the Foo Fighters have canceled their 2025 tour. As a result, Muse have taken their spot as headliner at Hellfest:
"With the Foo Fighters having canceled their summer tour, Muse was called in as reinforcements. I accepted because I was missing a headliner on Friday and because the Hellfest audience is more and more open. With age, I too have matured, I am less sectarian."
The lack of activity on Dave Grohl's Instagram account doesn’t come as much of a surprise. In September, he shared the following statement:
"I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."
It’s clear that a Foo Fighters tour isn’t a top priority at the moment, and it hadn’t been officially announced anyway.
