⚡ A UNION DECADES IN THE MAKING
For decades, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Metallica’s James Hetfield have expressed mutual respect for each other’s craft — from Grohl’s deep admiration for Metallica’s unrelenting power to Hetfield’s praise of the Foo Fighters’ authentic spirit and high-octane live energy.
Now, after years of festival appearances, shared award shows, and mutual jam sessions behind the scenes, the two bands have decided it’s time to take things to the next level — a co-headlining stadium tour spanning five continents.
“This isn’t just another tour — it’s a celebration of everything rock and roll stands for,” Grohl said during the official announcement streamed live from Los Angeles. “We’ve always wanted to do something that feels bigger than music, something that brings the fire, the soul, and the chaos that made us pick up guitars in the first place.”
Hetfield added with his trademark grin: “When Dave called and said, ‘Let’s melt some faces together,’ I didn’t even let him finish the sentence. This tour is going to be loud, raw, and unapologetically real — just like rock should be.”

A TRIBUTE TO ROCK’S LEGACY
This tour comes at a poignant time for both bands. Foo Fighters, still carrying the spirit of late drummer Taylor Hawkins, have promised to make this tour a “living tribute” to the power of music, friendship, and resilience. Metallica, meanwhile, continues to celebrate over four decades of defining heavy metal history — from “Master of Puppets” to “Lux Æterna.”
Together, they aim to reignite the global love for live rock, uniting generations of fans who grew up with their anthems.
“This isn’t a goodbye — it’s a rebirth,” Lars Ulrich said. “Rock isn’t dying. It’s evolving, and we’re here to prove it still rules the world.”
