Foo Fighters Kick Off 2026 North American Tour with Queens of the Stone Age: Photos, Video + Setlists

Foo Fighters commenced their North American "Take Cover" summer tour on Tuesday, August 4th, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, accompanied by Queens of the Stone Age and Mannequin Pussy. The setlist was comprised of 26 tracks, featuring the band's most popular hits like "All My Life," "The Pretender," "Times Like These," "My Hero," and "Monkey Wrench."

A standout moment was the heartfelt tribute to late drummer Taylor Hawkins, who passed away in 2022, with the song "Under You" dedicated to his son Shane on his 20th birthday. The evening concluded with an emotional encore of 'The Teacher,' dedicated to Grohl's late mother Virginia, and "Everlong," accompanied by fireworks. Foo Fighters chose to play four songs from their 1999 album "There Is Nothing Left to Lose," while three songs each came from "The Colour and the Shape" (1997), "Wasting Light" (2011), and "Concrete and Gold" (2017).

However, they only performed one track from their latest album, "Your Favorite Toy," released in 2026. Queens of the Stone Age delivered an 11-song set, taking turns from their albums "Songs for the Deaf," "Songs for the Deaf," and "Songs for the Deaf." Philadelphia indie-punk group Mannequin Pussy kicked off the night with a five-song set, all taken from their 2024 album "I Got Heaven."

Photos and video from the Toronto concert, along with the complete setlists for both Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age, are available for viewing.
