Foo Fighters are headed to NZ and are all set for their Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington gigs!
We’re the lucky buggers who get to catch the boys’ first performances for 2024 and me oh my we’re f**king fizzing. The Foos performed across the ditch in Aussie at the end of last year, and now they’re back from a break and ready to tear it up in our homeland.
While we can’t be sure of what their exact setlists will be for their NZ shows, we’ve looked into the setlists of their Aussie shows to give us a pretty good idea of what we can expect to hear.
The Foos’ kicked off their Perth show with a 25-song set, and ended their Aussie leg of the tour in Brisbane with a 27-song set. Check out their Brisbane setlist, provided by Setlist.fm, below.

All of the Foo’s Aussie setlists were pretty similar, but ‘La Dee Da’ and ‘Big Me’ were added on for their last show only. We’re also thinking that ‘Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners’ and ‘Big Balls’ were added only for their Aussie shows - so we wonder if they’ll switch those songs out, or even cover a kiwi song for their gigs over here.
Someone’s uploaded a video to YouTube with snippets of the band’s Melbourne gig, and it looks f**king epic - check it out below.
If you’re headed to one of Foo Fighters shows, don’t forget that we’re hosting pre-parties before each gig. Check out all the info here.
