Foo Fighters have stunned fans with an unexpected comeback, performing their first live show in nearly a year at an intimate venue in California. The band, who have largely kept quiet about their next moves, made their return in true Foo Fighters fashion — sudden, loud, and unforgettable.
The show took place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, a venue with a capacity of just around 900 people. Tickets were sold the old-school way, in person at the theater’s box office starting at 7 a.m. on the morning of the concert. Fans who showed up early and braved the line were rewarded with a night of raw, up-close energy that few could have predicted.
This intimate gig was billed mysteriously in advance as a night of “mysterious music.” The band did not announce the performance online until the very last minute, leaving many surprised when the Foo Fighters finally hit the stage. According to fan reports, the setlist mixed classic hits with a few deep cuts, giving the night a once-in-a-lifetime feel.
Dave Grohl seemed energized by the small-room atmosphere, joking with the audience between songs and reflecting on what it meant to return after such a long break. “It feels good to be loud again,” Grohl said, beaming at the packed crowd.
The Fremont Theater date marks the Foo Fighters’ first live appearance since 2024, reigniting speculation about a possible tour or new music on the horizon. While nothing official has been confirmed yet, the surprise show proves that the band still has plenty of surprises left for fans who have stuck by them through every era.
For those who missed out, the night will go down as one of those rare Foo Fighters moments — a stadium-sized band returning to their club roots for a fiery, unpredictable evening.
