Foo Fighters Announce Launceston Concert for January 2025

The Foo Fighters announced plans for a one-night-only concert in Launceston, Tasmania, on January 24, 2025, marking their return to Australia and their first performance in the state since 2015. The show at UTAS Stadium will feature the Grammy-winning rock band led by frontman Dave Grohl, drawing fans to the northern Tasmanian city with a population under 100,000.

The event, titled Take Cover Tasmania, will be supported by Brisbane rock outfit Full Flower Moon Band and local psych-rock trio Spooky Eyes. Frontier Touring, which has a longstanding partnership with the band, is producing the concert. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 4 p.m. AEDT on December 10, following presales for Frontier members starting at 1 p.m. AEDT on December 8 and Telstra Plus members from noon AEDT on December 5. The all-ages show continues the band's tradition of regional performances, similar to their 2022 one-off at Geelong's GMHBA Stadium, which helped revive live music after pandemic restrictions.

This visit represents the Foo Fighters' 14th trip to Australia since their debut in 1995, though Launceston has never hosted the group before. Their most recent tour Down Under came in late...
