Foo Fighters are continuing their \u201cTake Cover Tour\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

The band played \u201cJesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam\u201d 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\u2019s\u00a0MTV Unplugged<\/em>\u00a0live album, renamed to \u201cJesus Doesn\u2019t Want Me For a Sunbeam\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n
When Foo Fighters debuted \u201cJesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam\u201d, there wasn\u2019t any introduction or fanfare. They simply transitioned into the cover, which Dave Grohl hadn\u2019t played live since 1994. There\u2019s no telling what inspired the band to dust this one off, but Grohl\u2019s vocals took on an eerie howling quality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
