Newcastle is on the Foo Fighters’ radar this summer, with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees locked in to play McDonald Jones Stadium on Thursday, 12 November 2026.
The Newcastle date is one of a handful of Australian stadium shows announced for November, before the tour continues to New Zealand and Perth in January. With regional cities now firmly back on the Foos’ touring map, demand for tickets in Newcastle is expected to be fierce.
FOO FIGHTERS NEWCASTLE PRE SALE
If you want to be in the stadium when Dave Grohl and company roll through town, the first window opens with presales.
Telstra Plus members can access tickets from Friday, 20 February via telstra.com.au/plus, while Frontier Touring members will have their own presale from Monday, 23 February through frontiertouring.com/foofighters.
Presale allocations are limited, and timings are staggered by show, so fans are encouraged to check the Frontier Touring website early and be ready when the queue opens.
GENERAL ONSALE
General public tickets go on sale Wednesday, 25 February, with staggered release times across the tour dates.
For Newcastle, the safest path is to head straight to the official Frontier Touring ticket link when sales open and avoid third-party resale sites that often inflate prices or offer unreliable listings.
PROTIP: Creating an account ahead of time, logging in early and having payment details ready can make the difference when tens of thousands of fans hit refresh at once.
THE LINEUP
Newcastle’s support lineup will feature Sydney acts The Buoys and C.O.F.F.I.N, adding extra incentive to arrive early on the night.
The Foos’ recent Australian shows have sold fast, buoyed by their reputation for marathon, career-spanning sets and a long-standing love affair with local audiences. Their decision to include Newcastle again only sharpens the appetite among Hunter fans who’ve waited for a hometown stadium date.
With Foo Fighters having notched up nine Australian #1 albums and more than 1.8 million records sold locally, this Newcastle show shapes as one of the year’s hottest tickets. Presales are your best chance if you want to beat the rush, but even general on-sale will reward preparation over hope. Set your reminders, bookmark the official links and be ready to move when the gates open.
