Foo Fighters Set for Public Performance in October 2024?
Foo Fighters Set for Public Performance in October 2024?
Legendary rock band Foo Fighters announced a major U.S. stadium tour for summer 2024 back in October 2023, with tickets going on sale that same month. The tour began in New York City in July, with a final performance in Seattle in August of this year. Fans were hoping for more dates, but with frontman Dave Grohl facing intense personal issues, it remains uncertain whether the band will add any further scheduled performances this month or even this year.
Grohl’s Marriage Scandal Casts Doubt on Future Shows
In September 2024, Grohl made the shocking announcement that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage to wife Jordyn Blum. The revelation threw Grohl’s 21-year marriage into turmoil, with some speculating that divorce is imminent. According to sources close to Blum, she is still not wearing her wedding ring and is in a “state of confusion” about the future of their relationship.
Grohl Keeping Low Profile
Grohl himself has been laying low since the scandal broke, avoiding social media and public appearances. He was photographed in October still not wearing his ring, suggesting the marriage is still on the rocks. With this personal drama unfolding, Foo Fighters cancelled a late September festival appearance, their first sign of altered plans.

Tour Logistics Already in Motion
The tour announcement in October 2023 came on the heels of Foo Fighters’ well-received 11th studio album “But Here We Are.”
Several factors indicate any future tour dates could be jeopardized. Grohl is reportedly focused on repairing his marriage and regaining his wife’s trust. Touring would take him away from working on these personal issues. The band is also still grieving the loss of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died in early 2022. Emotionally, they may not be ready to undertake a major tour.
Why Band May Still Tour
On the other hand, some sources say Grohl hopes to “bury himself” in work as a distraction from his marital woes. Touring with Foo Fighters has always been a passion for him. The band also likely has contractual obligations with venues, promoters and sponsors. Completely cancelling any planned tour dates in the pipeline could have major financial implications.
Decision Will Reflect Band’s Mindset
Ultimately the band’s decision will come down to an assessment of their collective mindset. Are they in a space to channel their grief into a triumphant return to live performance? Or do they need more time for healing and reflection before stepping back into the spotlight? For now, whether Foo Fighters actually take the stage remains uncertain.
Grohl’s Marriage Issues Add Complexity
Grohl’s marriage issues have added a new layer of complexity. He could seek to fix his relationship and family behind closed doors, or see touring as a means of escape. Foo Fighters’ October 2024 concerts will only happen if the band feels ready both emotionally and interpersonally. For heartbroken fans eagerly awaiting their return, it may be a case of “wait and see.”
