How Germany fits into the 2026 chart and tour picture
The German shows are part of a broader 2026 activity burst around Your Favorite Toy. The album, released on April 24, 2026 via Roswell Records/RCA, has entered charts in multiple territories and extends the band’s streak of high-profile releases following But Here We Are in 2023.Pitchfork album announcement In the UK, But Here We Are debuted at number one on the Official Albums Chart with about 44,500 units, giving Foo Fighters their sixth UK chart-topper; the new record continues that momentum into 2026.UK chart report
The European leg of the Take Cover Tour 2026 reflects this international demand. Compared with the band’s earlier headline runs in German arenas, the shift to football stadiums such as Allianz Arena and Olympiastadion indicates a clear upscaling of capacity: both venues offer tens of thousands of seats, far above the typical indoor hall shows of previous cycles.
