If you’re into honest, handmade rock, this summer’s a must-see on your calendar. When those massive amps are cranked up, there’ll be no stopping them, and the stadium is guaranteed to be packed to the brim. Get ready for heavy riffs, pounding drums, and a truly awesome mega-event.
The Foo Fighters are heading straight for our capital as part of their “Take Cover Tour 2026.” Dave Grohl founded the band back in the day after his time with Nirvana, and today he and his bandmates fill the world’s largest arenas. It’s been over ten years since the Americans last played here—back then it was indoors, now it’s going to be much bigger.
With extremely well-known hits like “Everlong, ” “The Pretender, ” and “Best of You,” they have long since secured their place in the rock pantheon. If you want to stay up to date on exciting venues, news, and activities in and around Vienna, feel free to follow us on Instagram or Facebook!
