Dave Grohl is making headlines again as the Foo Fighters gear up to celebrate their 30-year milestone, launching a brand new Substack project called Foo Fighters Field Notes. The inaugural post landed just this week and features a treasure trove of rare videos and images, giving fans behind-the-scenes access as anticipation builds for the band’s return to the stage. After months of relative silence, Grohl and the Foo Fighters officially announced two major comeback shows. First, they’ll headline the global stage at the Singapore Grand Prix on October 4, 2025, marking their first major public performance since August 2024 in Seattle. Not stopping there, they’re also the top-billed act at Mexico City’s Corona Capital festival in mid-November, sharing marquee space with Chappell Roan and Linkin Park.

These announcements come on the heels of a period marked more by personal headlines than by music news. Last year, Grohl confirmed via Instagram that he had welcomed a baby daughter outside his long-standing marriage to Jordyn Blum, publicly expressing his regret and his intention to regain his family’s trust. This revelation led to a social media frenzy, with outlets like People Magazine spotlighting Grohl and Blum’s public outings in Los Angeles, and noting the couple’s visible efforts to navigate the fallout—allegedly still recovering, but presenting a united front on occasion.

Professionally, the band made waves with the surprise firing of drummer Josh Freese, the man who stepped in after Taylor Hawkins’ tragic passing. With no official replacement announced, industry speculation is rampant about who will sit behind the kit at these high-profile gigs. Meanwhile, Grohl keeps his musical edge sharp: in early 2025, he cooked meals for Los Angeles wildfire evacuees, reunited Nirvana with Post Malone at SNL’s 50th Anniversary, contributed a track alongside Jack Black for a Minecraft movie, and delivered a surprise orchestral Foo Fighters set at Coachella, as well as a pop-up at a Los Angeles school fundraiser.

On social media, fan chatter around Grohl is relentless, fueling discussion about his professional resilience and his personal turbulence. Most recently, he was seen at Napa’s BottleRock Festival with wife Jordyn, sparking a fresh round of gossip columns weighing in on the state of their marriage and the future of the Foo Fighters’ rhythm section. Despite everything, Grohl’s focus remains clear: family, forgiveness, and music, as the Foo Fighters ramp up for a historic year.
