Foo Fighters have revealed that their 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, will arrive April 24 via Roswell Records in partnership with RCA Records. The project marks the band’s first full-length release since 2023’s But Here We Are, and introduces drummer Ilan Rubin as a full-time member following his addition to the lineup last year (Foo Fighters’ current lineup includes Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Smear, Rami Jaffee, and Rubin).
The band has are previewing the album with its title track, “Your Favorite Toy,” a sharp-edged, high-voltage anthem that signals a new creative chapter. Though unmistakably Foo Fighters, the track carves out fresh sonic territory within their catalog. Grohl said: “‘Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”
The album was co-produced by the band alongside Oliver Roman, who also handled engineering duties. Mixing was completed by Mark “Spike” Stent. In addition to the title track, the record includes last year’s blistering “Asking for a Friend” and “Today’s Song,” which first appeared as a standalone single.
The album’s release will also set the stage for the band’s expansive Take Cover World Tour, beginning June 10 at Unity Arena in Oslo – following major U.S. festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock. Additional North American and European stadium dates are scheduled throughout the summer, with select U.S. shows featuring Queens of the Stone Age.
