Foo Fighters announce Australia tour in November 2022 – here’s how to get tickets
Live music is well and truly back!
The Foo Fighters can’t get enough of Australia. Fresh off their historic three-hour rock’n’roll marathon for 30,000 adoring fans in Geelong, Victoria, the band have announced they’ll be returning to our shores later this year.
As teased by Dave Grohl on stage in Geelong, the 12-time Grammy winners and Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will once again arrive in Australia this November.
The much-celebrated Geelong show marked the band’s first performance Down Under since their stadium tour in January 2018, and now we get them twice in the same year.
With eight #1 albums in Australia, including their latest and tenth studio album Medicine At Midnight, and a catalogue of hits including ‘Everlong’, ‘Best Of You’, ‘The Pretender’, ‘Learn To Fly’, ‘All My Life’ and so much more across their 26-year career, this show is set to be a huge celebration.
The Geelong performance was a truly history-making event – it was the first time a full-capacity stadium show by any international artist had taken place in Australia since March 2020. What a way to welcome international live music back!
True showmen who gave their all. They are the high-octane rocket fuel of the rock and roll world

A superlative performance that will set the bar high for all other international acts to follow’

However, there is a ticket delivery delay in place until, at least, Monday 24 October 2022 – this means you will not be able to access your Foo Fighters ticket until after that date.
Get to know Ticketmaster’s Smart Queue
If you aren’t familiar with Smart Queue, it is Ticketmaster’s way of creating a clear and fair process for thousands of fans to buy tickets in a short space of time. Fans enter the virtual Waiting Room prior to onsale time before joining the Smart Queue – which acts as a ‘virtual line’, helping us protect you and your tickets in a more effective way.
The time you join the Waiting Room does not determine your place in the Smart Queue, so we recommend joining at least 10 minutes prior to the event going on sale.
When the sale begins, the Smart Queue will open and everyone in the Waiting Room is given a place in line. Those who did not join the Waiting Room will be placed at the end of the line.
- Sign in to your Ticketmaster account at least 10 minutes before joining the Waiting Room. This will speed up your purchase later.
- Confirm you have a valid form of payment in your account with current email and billing information. This will make checkout a breeze.
- Resist the urge to refresh. Your page will automatically refresh when you enter the Smart Queue.
- Keep an eye on the time! When it’s your turn, your spot will be held for 10 minutes to begin shopping.
- Just like before, tickets are always based on availability, demand, and are not guaranteed.
Will there be a ticket limit?
Yes, there will be a ticket limit in place for Foo Fighters Australian tour.
There is a ticket limit of 6 (six) tickets per customer in the presale.
There is a ticket limit of 8 (eight) tickets per customer in the general public sale.

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance – Ticketmaster.com.au.
Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time
Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Don’t refresh your screen
Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.
Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game.

Remember: there are a lot of fans
We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is as popular as Foo Fighters, sometimes they go very quickly.
