Foo Fighters To Make Their Highly Anticipated India Debut With Two Shows In January 2027

Rock band "Foo Fighters", known for tracks such as "The Pretender", "Stacked Actors" and "Monkey Wrench", is set to make its India debut in January 2027. The American band will perform in Bengaluru on January 29 and at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai on January 31, according to a press release.

The event is presented and produced by BookMyShow. "Foo Fighters" formed in 1994 in Seattle, Washington by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. The breakthrough emerged in 1997 with the release of the studio album "The Colour and the Shape".

The band currently comprises Grohl alongside Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, and Ilan Rubin. In April, the band released 12th studio album titled "Your Favorite Toy", which is hailed by critics as a high-energy return to the band's roots. "After 31 years as a band, we can't wait to finally play for our fans in India!

It's taken a few years but we promise it'll be worth the wait. We hope Bengaluru and Mumbai are ready for a couple of very long, very loud nights," Grohl said in a statement.

Naman Pugalia, chief business officer of Live Events, BookMyShow, added, "Foo Fighters have stood at the forefront of modern rock, inspiring generations of fans around the world for nearly three decades. Their music, energy and enduring legacy have inspired fans and musicians globally and their long-awaited India debut marks a pivotal moment for rock enthusiasts as well as the broader live entertainment ecosystem."

"With an incredible supporting lineup and a production designed to match the scale and stature of the occasion, these shows promise to deliver an unforgettable festival experience that celebrates the power, passion and community of live rock music. We are thrilled to finally bring Foo Fighters to India and can't wait for fans to witness one of the greatest live acts of all time on Indian soil.
