For the first time since its inception in 1994, the American rock band Foo Fighters is all set to make its historic debut in India in 2027.
The Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famers and 15-time GRAMMY Award-winning band will debut with a two-city tour in India in January 2027, performing live in Bengaluru on January 29, followed by Mumbai on January 31 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse.
The general sale of tickets will go live at 12PM IST on Tuesday, June 16, on BookMyShow.
The Foo Fighters will perform alongside an enthralling multi-act lineup of homegrown and international acts for a festival-like feel. In Bengaluru, audiences can expect to see Alain Johannes, Pinkshift, The Pretty Reckless, and Die Spitz share the stage, while Mumbai will hear from Still In Therapy and Mali, with Die Spitz and The Pretty Reckless making back-to-back appearances.
During both shows, the audience and the band will celebrate together the journey and evolution of contemporary rock music with some of the most vibrant voices in the global music landscape.
With the band arriving in India following the release of its latest album, Your Favorite Toy, lead singer Dave Grohl mentions in a statement: "After 31 years as a band, we can’t wait to FINALLY play for our fans in India!! It’s taken a few years but we promise it’ll be worth the wait. We hope Bengaluru and Mumbai are ready for a couple of very long, very loud nights."
"We are thrilled to finally bring Foo Fighters to India and can't wait for fans to witness one of the greatest live acts of all time on Indian soil," says Naman Pugalia, the Chief Business Officer of BookMyShow.
"Their music, energy and enduring legacy have inspired fans and musicians globally and their long-awaited India debut marks a pivotal moment for rock enthusiasts as well as the broader live entertainment ecosystem," he adds, stating that the band and artist lineup is sure to deliver a memorable experience that celebrates the essence of rock music.
