Foo Fighters Crack Pollstar's LIVE75 Top 10 for the First Time With 146,202 Tickets Sold

Foo Fighters have debuted in the top 10 of Pollstar's LIVE75 chart, landing at No. 4 on the strength of four sold-out North American stadium shows on their Take Cover Tour. The four dates sold a combined 146,202 tickets, averaging 36,550 per show — the highest average of any act making its first appearance on the chart. All four shows, held in three Canadian cities and Las Vegas in September 2026, sold out.

The four North American stadium dates

• Sept 15 — Mosaic Stadium, Regina, Saskatchewan — 28,167 attendees
• Sept 17 — Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton, Alberta — 41,038 attendees
• Sept 20 — BC Place, Vancouver — 39,334 attendees
• Sept 26 — Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas — 37,663 attendees

These four shows were part of the band's most recent North American run between August and September. Across that stretch, 11 stadiums reported box-office figures to Pollstar, totaling 435,039 tickets sold in North America and $57 million in gross revenue.

The same North American run also pushed Foo Fighters into the top 10 of Pollstar's Global Concert Pulse chart, ranking No. 7 with an average gross of $5.2 million per show. That chart tracks touring revenue over a rolling three-month window.

Europe leg and what's next on the tour

Before the North American dates, the band ran a European stadium tour in June and July. Per figures reported to Pollstar, Paris La Défense Arena sold 39,644 tickets and Munich's Allianz Arena drew 50,456, while the highest-attended European stop was Berlin's Olympiastadion at 61,955.

The Take Cover Tour continues in November with stadium dates in Australia and New Zealand, adds further Australia/New Zealand shows in January 2027, then moves to two shows in India before closing with a South American stadium leg in March 2027.

Where other artists landed this week

Shakira holds the LIVE75 No. 1 spot for a second straight week, based on her 13-show residency in Madrid, Spain. BTS tops the Global Concert Pulse chart for the 17th time since launching their Arirang World Tour this year. Bruno Mars retains the top spot on the Artist Power Index for the 23rd time since his Romantic Tour began — he leads in radio airplay, ranks second in streaming, and fourth in live performance among the index's four metrics. The index's top new entry this week is R&B singer-guitarist Steve Lacy at No. 47, with his Oh Yeah? Tour running through November.
