Foo Fighters are previewing their upcoming 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy with their new song “Of All People.”
‘Of All People’ follows the previously-released tracks “Caught In The Echo,” “Asking for a Friend,” and the title track – with additional material already teased live.
Frontman Dave Grohl shares of the latest track: “‘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. One of many songs to come…”
Grohl continued: “Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing. From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon. What better way to share the view than with close friends?”
Your Favorite Toy, dropping April 24, marks the band’s first full-length release since 2023’s But Here We Are, and introduces drummer Ilan Rubin as a full-time member following his addition to the lineup last year (Foo Fighters’ current lineup includes Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Smear, Rami Jaffee, and Rubin).
The album rollout will also set the stage for the band’s expansive Take Cover World Tour, with support from Queens of the Stone Age and select appearances by Mannequin Pussy and Gouge Away. Due to popular demand the band added an additional show April 28 show at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut prior to the official tour launch on June 10 at Unity Arena in Oslo. The global run continues into summer, including a North American leg kicking off August 4 in Toronto and wrapping September 26 in Las Vegas. The tour dates follow major U.S. festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock. A
