The Foo Fighters have announced they are set to return Down Under this year after wowing fans with a one-off gig in Tasmania last month.
The US rockers will be back in November to play seven stadium shows across Australia as part of their global Take Cover Tour.
This is the first time frontman Dave Grohl and the Best of You hitmakers have toured nationally for their Aussie fans since 2023.
Kicking off their jaunt Down Under in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on November 5, the rockers will then head to Townsville for a show at the Queensland Country Bank Stadium on November 7.
They will then play Sydney's Accor Stadium on November 10, before heading to Newcastle on November 12 for a gig at the McDonald Jones Stadium.
Melbourne fans will get their chance to catch the band's famously high-powered live act on November 14 at Marvel Stadium, before they move on to Adelaide for a show at Coopers Stadium on November 17.

They wrap up their Aussie Tour with a gig at Perth's HBF Park on January 25, 2027.
The Foo Fighters will also be playing two shows across the Tasman, with the first gig at Christchurch's Orangetheory Stadium on January 19.
Their last and final NZ show will be on January 22 at the Western Springs Stadium in Auckland.
The Foo Fighters hit the road for their global tour in May, with two shows in the US, then performances in Norway, Sweden, Poland, France and the Netherlands.
Fans in the UK, Italy, Spain, and Canada will also get a chance to see the chart-toppers before they head back to the US for a national tour in August.
Known as huge supporters of Australian music, the band have enlisted Brisbane band Full Flower Moon Band as a support act for shows Down Under.
Victorian rockers Belair Lip Bombs are also on the bill as a support act, alongside Sydney all-female band The Bouys.
The Foo Fighters are also reportedly aiming to recruit local bands in each city as support acts.

It comes after the rockers teased their return Down Under back in December.
An image was shared that showed a large Foo Fighters billboard perched atop The Winston pub in Hobart, Tasmania.
The image was accompanied by the caption, 'Give me a reason, show me a sign,' a line from the band's latest single Asking For A Friend.
The caption also featured a link to a dedicated Foo Fighters page on the Frontier Touring website.
The link takes visitors to a black screen displaying the Foo Fighters logo with a countdown to 'big news incoming' at some stage on Wednesday.
The post was met with a flurry of excitement from Aussie fans.
Pre-sale tickets for the Foo Fighters Take Cover Australian Tour go live for Telstra Plus members on February 20.
