The Foo Fighters have revealed details of their upcoming 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, set for release on April 24 via Roswell Records and RCA Records. The band released the title track as the lead single, describing it as the key that shaped the album's energetic direction. This marks their first full-length with new drummer Ilan Rubin.
The Foo Fighters announced their new album, Your Favorite Toy, on February 19, 2026, following teasers of song snippets on their website. The 10-track record, co-produced by the band and Oliver Roman, was recorded at home, engineered by Roman, and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent. It includes the previously released closer “Asking for a Friend” from last October.
Dave Grohl explained the title track's significance in a statement: “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.” The three-minute hard-rocker features driving guitar lines and lyrics like “Get back, hear that boy? Someone threw away your favorite toy for good.”
Your Favorite Toy is the band's first album since 2023’s But Here We Are and follows lineup changes, including Ilan Rubin replacing Josh Freese on drums, who had succeeded the late Taylor Hawkins. The current lineup consists of Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee, and Rubin.
The album arrives ahead of the band's extensive Take Cover world tour, starting with U.S. festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida, on May 8, and Bottlerock Napa Valley on May 23. European stadium dates follow in June and July, with North American shows through September and Australia/New Zealand legs from November 2026 to January 2027. Support acts include Queens of the Stone Age and Mannequin Pussy for select dates.
