Foo Fighters are continuing their “Take Cover Tour” this summer, now with the added benefit of their latest album release, Your Favorite Toy. The album dropped in late April 2026, while the tour kicked off in January 2026 and stretches into the new year.
In May, Foo Fighters scheduled two festival appearances: May 8 at Welcome to Rockville, and their latest show on May 23 at BottleRock. The latest gig introduced a new song to the setlist, which the band slipped quietly into the middle of their set. A simple cover song, it may have seemed inconsequential to the untrained ear. But for OG fans who followed Dave Grohl from the Nirvana days, this was a rare gem
The band played “Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam” by The Vaselines, originally released in 1987. Nirvana first covered the song in 1991, adding it to their tour setlist through February 1994. Additionally, it was part of Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged live album, renamed to “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For a Sunbeam”.
