Rock band Foo Fighters have confirmed they will perform at Anfield next summer.

They said on social media they would play two shows at the Liverpool stadium, on 25 and 27 June.

It followed a Gigs and Tours Instagram story on Sunday which just showed the letters FF emblazoned on one of Anfield's stands.

The football stadium recently hosted other huge stars such as Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, leading to fans from across the world descending on the city.

Last year, Liverpool FC said concerts held at Anfield, which also included The Rolling Stones and Bon Jovi, helped boost the local economy by more than £31m over five years.

The council hailed the "iconic venue" for doubling up as a "world-leading concert venue each summer".

Foo Fighters' Take Cover Tour 2026 also takes them to cities around Europe, including Berlin, Paris and Milan.

Tickets go on sale on Friday.
