Foo Fighters return with new song Asking For A Friend

October 23, 2025 – Radio 854 Music News:

Rock veterans Foo Fighters have returned in full force with a fresh single titled “Asking for a Friend”, and to top it off they’ve announced a major 2026 North American stadium tour.

The new track: what to know

• Released on October 23, 2025, Asking for a Friend is their latest original song, following previous 2025 releases.

• The track shows the band in a “lean, mean and rocking mode” — with heavy riffs, a dark-mood opening, and vocals from front-man Dave Grohl ramping up in intensity.

• According to Grohl: “Asking for a Friend is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for ‘proof’ when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again.”

Why it matters

• The single marks a new chapter: the band now features drummer Ilan Rubin, who recently joined the lineup.

• The announcement of a 2026 stadium tour across North America—supported by Queens of the Stone Age—signals the Foos are gearing up for full-scale rock resurgence.

• For fans of Radio 854, this means new music and live shows on the horizon—an exciting moment after the band’s recent quieter periods.
