The Foo Fighters are coming to Regina in the fall of 2026. Tickets for the Sept. 15, 2026 show at Mosaic Stadium will officially go on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 31. Ticket prices will range from $59.50 to $299.50. “It’s gonna be big, as you heard. It’s gonna be absolutely incredible. It is going to be over the top, it will be loud. It will be 41,000 people visiting Mosaic Stadium,” REAL District president and CEO Rick Bennett told reporters Thursday morning. The concert will also feature performances from Queens of the Stone Age, with the possibility of other bands and performers being added to the lineup. “What’s really unique is that we have approximately 7,000 seats, standing room on the floor, so that’s a great indication of the horsepower of this event and the production side being absolutely entertaining and engaging,” Bennett added. The announcement comes a day after a cryptic message was displayed at Mosaic Stadium’s video board - which displayed the Foo Fighters emblem along with the date of the announcement. The show in Regina is one of only four concert stops the Foo Fighters will make in Canada as part of their upcoming stadium tour across North America. “There’s going to be like 25 tour buses rolling through, it’s going to be a big set. And the fact of the matter that we’re one of four places in Canada to get it, and one of 12 in North America, is absolutely huge,” said Foo Fighters superfan Andrew Sutton. The Foo Fighters were slated to perform in Regina at the Brandt Centre in 2022. However, the tour was cancelled prior to the Regina concert date following the death of the band’s drummer, Taylor Hawkins. Sutton had tickets to that cancelled Saskatoon show, and admits that after Hawkins’ passing, he thought the band might call it quits. “I thought to myself, if I’m being super honest, I didn’t think we were ever going to be able to see them again, because I just flat out thought they were done. Especially with how long of a history they had, to lose a guy like that,” he said. When asked about the venue change, from the Brandt Centre to Mosaic Stadium, Bennett pointed to the changes within the organization and the world since the initial announcement. “[The Brandt Centre is] a much smaller venue with 6,000 seats. We feel much more confident of Regina’s appetite for live entertainment, for large scale venues, and the band’s popularity as well,” he said. “You stitch those two together at the Mosaic Stadium, being the most modern CFL Stadium in Canada, is an absolute perfect match.” The last major show held at Mosaic Stadium was dual performances from Garth Brooks in August of 2019. Speaking with Your Morning Saskatchewan, Mayor Chad Bachynski shared his excitement on the announcement and credited the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) with their work in attracting the band to the city. “I think we’re really seeing a turning point for REAL,” he said. “People have talked all the time about what’s coming to the stadium for a concert, I’ve heard a lot of feedback in that regard. So, to see that come to life now and I think this is some positive momentum going forward.” For Sutton, his love of the Foo Fighters stemmed from his parents introducing him to Nirvana, when current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was Nirvana’s drummer. Now Sutton is passing on the family tradition to his younger sister, whom he says he will be attending the show with next year. “I passed down the Foo Fighters to her, so the fact that she gets to see them live at 16 years old is going to be such a cool experience for her because it’s a lasting lifetime memory and there’s going to be a time in her life when the Foo Fighters will never tour again, right?”
