Foo Fighters are giving fans another chance to see them get loud. Today, they’ve announced that an intimate Melbourne show has been added to their upcoming tour itinerary.

The American rockers will take over Crown LIVE, “Melbourne’s new home of live entertainment,” on Monday, 16 November.

The venue, the latest in a string of entertainment spots at Crown Casino, holds just 1,250 attendees. For Foo Fighters fans, it would be difficult to remember the last time they saw the band in a venue of that size.

Punters will witness Foo Fighters “loud and up close” at the venue. Fans can register their interest to attend the event now – registrations close on Monday, 12 October, at 11:59 pm AEDT.

On Thursday, 15 October, at 9 am AEDT, the ticket allocation process begins and closes the following day at 11:59 pm AEDT. Successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified about the possibility of purchasing tickets on Wednesday, 21 October.

Visit the Crown LIVE website to register and find more information.

Ticket prices for the one-night-only event are as follows:

  • General Admission (Standing): $499.00* + $10.25 processing fee

  • Gold (Seated): $499.00* + $10.25 processing fee

  • Silver (Seated): $299.00* + $10.25 processing fee

  • Bronze (Seated): $199.00* + $10.25 processing fee

The Crown LIVE show is the only chance fans will have to see an intimate gig on Foo Fighters’ forthcoming trek to Australia.

Foo Fighters’ upcoming Take Cover tour begins at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Thursday, 5 November. It continues at Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Sydney’s Accor Stadium, Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, and Adelaide’s Coopers Stadium on Tuesday, 17 November.

The band return to Australia and New Zealand in early 2027, performing at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch and Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, followed by Perth’s HBF Park on Monday, 25 February. Tickets to all shows are now available via the Frontier Touring website.
