In one of the most unexpected β yet electrifying β collaborations in modern rock history, Phish and the Foo Fighters have officially announced their monumental 2026 Stadium Tour, promising a seismic explosion of sound, energy, and legacy that will shake the foundations of the global music scene. This unprecedented partnership brings together two titans of live performance: Phish, the kings of improvisational rock, and Foo Fighters, the undisputed giants of anthemic, arena-dominating power. Together, they are poised to deliver a tour that redefines what a summer rock spectacle can be.
Set to ignite stadiums across North America and Europe, the tour will run from late May through early September 2026, hitting major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, and more. Fans can expect a staggering mix of marathon jams, thunderous riffs, spontaneous collaborations, and the kind of electrifying cross-band chemistry only legends can produce. With both bands known for delivering unpredictable, high-energy, emotionally charged shows, this tour is shaping up to be a once-in-a-generation event.
NME understands that each night will feature full headline sets from both bands, followed by a special co-headlining finale, where members of both groups will take the stage together for rare, one-off performances. Early insiders tease the possibility of Foo Fighters rocking out on extended Phish jams, while Trey Anastasioβs signature guitar wizardry and Phishβs rhythm section brings new life to Foo Fighters classics like Everlong, The Pretender, and My Hero.
Behind the scenes, this collaboration was born from a shared admiration between the two groups. Dave Grohl has long praised Phishβs free-form musical bravery, while Phish members have frequently cited Grohl and the Foos as masters of modern rock songwriting. Sources say the idea began as a casual backstage conversation at a festival years ago β and slowly evolved into the mega-project now preparing to take over 2026.
Beyond the music, the tour is expected to push boundaries in production, design, and fan experience. State-of-the-art stage setups, immersive lighting landscapes, and multi-tiered visual environments will help transform each stop into a full-scale rock carnival, blending the psychedelic vibes of Phishβs jam scene with the explosive, firework-laced theatrics of Foo Fightersβ stadium reign.
Fans are already buzzing across social media, calling the collaboration βhistoric,β βunreal,β and βthe crossover we never knew we needed.β With both bandsβ loyal fanbases known for their passion, dedication, and globe-trotting commitment, tickets are expected to become some of the most sought-after of the decade.
As summer 2026 approaches, itβs clear that this tour is more than just a series of concerts β itβs a celebration of musical evolution, friendship, creativity, and the unbreakable spirit of live rock. Phish and Foo Fighters are ready to deliver a spectacle that will echo long after the final note fades.
Stay tuned for dates, venues, and ticket details β this is one tour no rock fan can afford to miss.
