Rock fans around the world have reason to celebrate — two of the most legendary bands in modern rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters, have just announced an explosive joint 2026 World Tour. This powerhouse collaboration is set to deliver an unforgettable live experience that promises to shake stadiums, arenas, and festival grounds across the globe.
The announcement dropped early this morning through a joint live stream, where both bands teased the upcoming shows, shared behind-the-scenes stories, and even gave fans a taste of what’s to come. Within minutes, hashtags like #RHCxFoo2026 and #RockRevivalTour began trending worldwide as fans flooded social media with excitement.
The tour, officially titled “The Global Getaway Tour 2026,” marks the first time the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters will share the same stage for a full-length, co-headlining world tour. It’s a dream come true for millions of fans who grew up with anthems like “Californication” and “Everlong.”
Starting in April 2026 in Los Angeles, California, the tour will cover over 40 cities across North America, Europe, South America, Australia, and Asia. Stops include New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo, São Paulo, Sydney, and many more. Both bands have hinted at surprise guests and festival-style lineups in select locations.
Each night of the tour will feature two full headlining sets — a rarity in modern touring schedules. The Foo Fighters will kick off the show with their signature mix of high-octane rock and heartfelt energy, followed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers closing things out with their funky, soul-infused sound. Fans can expect extended jam sessions, collaborations on stage, and maybe even a few surprise covers.
According to Anthony Kiedis, frontman of Red Hot Chili Peppers, this tour is about “celebrating music, energy, and connection.” In the live announcement, he added, “We’ve admired each other for decades, and it just felt like the right time to bring our worlds together. Expect fire — literally and figuratively.”
Dave Grohl echoed the same sentiment, saying, “The Foo Fighters have always been about bringing people together through rock. Doing this tour with the Peppers — it’s like two big families colliding in the best way possible.” Fans are already speculating that the two bands might collaborate on a new single or live album during the tour.
Pre-sale tickets go live December 5, 2025, with general sales opening December 8 through Ticketmaster and the official websites of both bands. VIP and “Ultimate Rock Experience” packages will include backstage access, exclusive merch, and a limited-edition vinyl pressing of a special collaborative recording.
Longtime followers know that both groups are at the top of their game. The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ latest album, Unlimited Love, reestablished their dominance in the funk-rock scene, while the Foo Fighters’ But Here We Are delivered one of their most emotionally powerful records yet. Seeing both of these bands live — back-to-back — is guaranteed to be a historic experience.
Music critics are already calling this tour “the biggest rock event of the decade.” With rock music’s mainstream presence fading in recent years, this collaboration could reignite the genre’s global spark and inspire a new generation of fans and musicians alike.
As anticipation builds, both bands are keeping details about their setlists under wraps, but if history is any indication, audiences can expect marathon performances, blistering solos, and moments of raw emotion that only these two acts can deliver.
