The “Learning to Fly” band has been playing some surprise shows in clubs and used them to produce its new album, “Are Playing Where??? Vol. I,” according to Pitchfork.

Foo Fighters also dropped their new single “Asking For A Friend” on social media on Thursday.

It came after “Today’s Song,” which was released in July.

“Since our return to the stage in San Luis Obispo five weeks ago, we have been reminded of why we love and are forever devoted to doing this Foo Fighters thing,” Foo frontman Dave Grohl said in a statement, according to Louder.

“From reuniting as a band and staring at a list of 30 years worth of songs to brush off, to reimagining versions with the incredible blessing of the one and only Ilan Rubin behind the drums, to reconnecting with our amazing fans and blasting them with everything we’ve got (no matter the size of the venue) because we would not be here without them, we have the most solid core. And the sun is finally rising over the horizon," he said.

Rubin is behind the drums after the death of the band’s original drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in 2022. Josh Freese filled the seat from 2023 until this past May, Louder said.
