Foo Fighters have announced the details of their forthcoming album Your Favorite Toy and shared its title track.

The band's 12th outing and the follow-up to 2023's But Here We Are will be released on 24th April 2026 and is available to pre-order here.

From it comes a single of the same name, which sees the Foos heading in an exciting new direction.

Frontman Dave Grohl commented: “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 song is preceded by the band's Asking For A Friend single, which was released in autumn last year.

The new album marks the band's first with new drummer Ilan Rubin, following Foo Fighters (1995), The Colour and the Shape (1997), There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999), One by One (2002), In Your Honor (2005), Echoes Silence, Patience & Grace (2007), Wasting Light (2011), Sonic Highways (2014), Concrete and Gold (2017), Medicine at Midnight (2021) and But Here We Are (2023).

The news comes after weeks of teasing from the band, which saw the Learn To Fly rockers release snippets of new music and revamp the landing page on their website, displaying a typical music lover's bedroom with with a guitar, CDs and posters of the band on the wall.

Among the posters were 10 clickable pictures of the band, which reveal between five to 13 seconds of new music- one of which featured a vocal from frontman Dave Grohl.
