Foo Fighters Electrify Allianz Arena in Munich
Munich, June 18, 2026 – The iconic American rock band, Foo Fighters, delivered an electrifying performance at the Allianz Arena in Munich yesterday evening, June 17, 2026. The concert, which began with a supporting act at 5:30 PM and saw doors open at 3:30 PM, drew a massive crowd of fans eager to witness the band’s return to the Bavarian capital.
Last-Minute Ticket Deals Spark Excitement
While initial ticket prices for the highly anticipated event were reported to be 100 Euros and above, many fans managed to secure last-minute deals. Through platforms like Fansale, an official fan-to-fan resale platform by Eventim, tickets were listed for as low as 39.99 Euros for upper-tier seats. Other options included tickets for 50 Euros (mid-tier, upper-tier) and 55 Euros (upper-tier). This last-minute availability, just a day before the concert, created a buzz among fans, encouraging quick decisions for those hoping to attend.
A Triumphant Return to Munich
The Foo Fighters’ appearance marked a significant return to Munich, nearly two decades after their 2007 MTV Europe Awards performance at the Olympiahalle. The Olympiapark website expressed excitement about the band’s return, highlighting the Allianz Arena’s role as an alternative venue for major open-air concerts during the renovation of the Olympiastadion.
The band, founded in 1995 by frontman Dave Grohl – who previously drummed for Nirvana until Kurt Cobain’s passing – first visited Munich that same year. A concert at the half-empty Charterhalle at the old Riem airport offered a glimpse into their promising future. A concert critic from the Süddeutsche Zeitung at the time confidently predicted, “You will certainly hear a lot more from the Foo Fighters.”
A Legacy of Chart-Topping Success
The Foo Fighters’ career has been marked by numerous successes. Their fourth studio album, “One by One” (2002), was their first to reach number one on the British charts. “Wasting Light” (2011) topped the charts in Germany and the USA, cementing their status as global rock giants. Their tours now consistently fill the world’s largest arenas and halls.
Getting to the Arena
For attendees, public transportation was the recommended mode of travel. From the main train station, the U6 line (towards Garching-Forschungszentrum) goes directly to the Fröttmaning stop, which serves the Allianz Arena. Additionally, several parking garages were available at the stadium for those who chose to drive.
The success of the Foo Fighters concert in Munich further solidifies the city’s reputation as a prime destination for major international music acts, drawing in fans from across Germany and beyond.
