Post 13: Waiting for a New Foo Fighters Song

How I felt when my favorite band cleverly dropped a release date on a pretty normal day.

Recently, the Foo Fighters launched a new landing page for their website; it features a Foos fan’s room filled with show posters, production photos, and stickers on the wall. The first time I saw the page, I said, “Wow. This reminds me of the fan sites I’ve seen in high school and college. Nakaka-miss!” I also saw a Taylor Hawkins sticker that made me cry a bit.

Then I hovered on some of the images (gig photos, production photos, and even the guitar with the Backbeat Barbecue ticker), and they’re clickable. After clicking them, I heard samples of their new songs. Since Dave Grohl casually announced during an Australia show last January that they’re done making a record, many fans (including me) could safely assume that the new songs will be from that upcoming album.

The Foo Fighters’ landing page as of February 19, 2026.

Today, February 19, 2026, a few more things were added to the Foos’ landing page: two more album teasers, and a digital clock with 6:00 and “2 / 19” as the time and date. That means tonight, 10:00pm (Manila time), the legendary rock band might release a new song.

Before I saw the Foos’ website update, it had been a pretty normal day for me. I finished a few papers, then enjoyed the quiet while having a cup of hot tea. I realized later that I hadn’t even opened my Spotify app since I woke up. That’s weird, even for me. Then I continued enjoying the quiet when I saw the new Foos’ website update (digital clock and all). Because I was more relaxed, I just clapped out of excitement (though I was freaking out inside). If I had a cup of black coffee while I checked the update, I would’ve jumped out of my seat and headbanged to the song clips!

So, what will happen at 10pm? Will the Foo Fighters release a new single? Maybe the entire new album? I don’t know. But one thing is for sure: I’m ready. I’m f’n ready.
