Dave Grohl Confirms New Foo Fighters Album Is Finished, Hints at Australia Return

"We might have a whole new record of f***ing songs that we just finished the other day," Grohl told the crowd during their Tasmanian show over the weekend.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has hinted at a return to Australia — and confirmed a new album is finished — during the band’s one-off Tasmanian show over the weekend.

The U.S. rock veterans played a sold-out marathon set at UTAS Stadium in Launceston on Saturday (Jan. 24), marking their first Tasmanian performance in more than a decade and their debut concert in the state’s second-largest city. The show, which ran close to three hours, was the band’s only Australian date on the current visit.
