What the Foo Fighters Santiago Concert Is
Foo Fighters are the American rock band led by Dave Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer. They are coming to Santiago with the Take Cover Tour 2027, which promotes their 2026 album Your Favorite Toy.
The Foo Fighters Santiago concert is set for the Parque Estadio Nacional in Ñuñoa, the sports park around Chile’s national stadium. The Chilean daily La Tercera reported that the date is Sunday 28 February 2027.
This will be the band’s fourth visit to Chile, after shows in 2012, 2015 and 2022, according to the broadcaster 24horas. The last was at the Lollapalooza festival in Santiago on 18 March 2022, one week before drummer Taylor Hawkins died.
La Tercera reported that this will be the first Chile show with the drummer Ilan Rubin. The current line-up also includes Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee, according to the news site Pauta.
Pauta expects hits such as Everlong, My Hero, Learn to Fly and Times Like These, along with songs from the new album. The band has not published a Santiago set list.
For US readers, the Foo Fighters Santiago show is a stadium night by a band with a long American following. It falls in the Southern Hemisphere summer, and the city is easy to pair with a longer South America trip.
Schedule and Times in Chile and US Eastern
The Foo Fighters Santiago concert is on Sunday 28 February 2027, but the promoter has not yet published doors or start times. Check the Ticketmaster Chile event page for those before you plan your day.
Chile will be on summer time that day, UTC-3, so Santiago is two hours ahead of New York, which is on UTC-5. A show that starts at 8 p.m. in Santiago would start at 6 p.m. US Eastern.
The Chilean bands Adelaida and Aurora Voraz are listed as openers, according to JamBase and Pauta. They play before Foo Fighters, so arriving early means seeing them too.
Large stadium shows in Santiago usually open the gates several hours before the headliner. No end time has been announced for the Foo Fighters Santiago concert, so book your ride home with some slack.
Tickets and Prices in US Dollars
Foo Fighters Santiago tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster Chile. The Ticketmaster page lists the show as Take Cover Tour 2027 at the Parque Estadio Nacional, and 24horas names DG Medios as promoter.
General sale opened on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 10:01 local time. A presale on Tuesday 11 August was for customers of the phone company Entel and holders of Santander cards.
BioBioChile reported prices from CLP 64,625 (about US$66) for the east and west seated stands to CLP 170,375 (about US$173) for the front standing area. Both figures include the service charge, and US$ amounts use about 985 pesos to the dollar on 16 October 2026.
Buy only on the Ticketmaster Chile site, since tickets from resellers cannot be checked in advance. A foreign credit card may be refused at checkout, so keep a second card ready.
Prices and sectors can change, so confirm them on the event page before you pay. The page also shows the seating map for the stadium.
How to Get to the Parque Estadio Nacional
The Parque Estadio Nacional sits in Ñuñoa, a residential district in eastern Santiago, and the Metro is the easiest way in. Lines 3 and 6 both serve Estadio Nacional station, Pauta reported for earlier stadium concerts.
For earlier concerts the Metro ran Lines 3 and 6 until half past midnight. Check the Metro de Santiago notices in the show week.
Ride-hailing apps work in Santiago, but expect heavy traffic and road closures around the stadium after the Foo Fighters Santiago show. Walking a few blocks away before calling a car usually saves time.
Santiago’s international airport, Arturo Merino Benítez, is on the west side of the city. Allow generous time for the Metro or a ride-hailing trip across town to Ñuñoa.
Safety and Costs for US Visitors
US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in Chile, according to the US State Department. The passport must stay valid for the whole trip, with a blank page for each stamp.
The State Department rates Chile Level 2 of 4, exercise increased caution, in an advisory issued on 19 August 2026. It cites crime, unrest and health.
Petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag theft is common in Santiago, the advisory says. At a stadium show, carry only your phone, a card and a copy of your passport, and keep them in a front pocket.
Large demonstrations can form in Santiago with little notice and disrupt transport, the State Department warns. Check local news on the day for road closures.
February is hot in Santiago, and wildfires are a risk in Chile from December to March, the advisory says. Bring sunscreen, a hat and a refillable bottle, and check the stadium’s rules on what you can carry in.
Chile is prone to earthquakes, so note where the exits are in your hotel and enrol in the State Department’s STEP programme. Police is 133 and an ambulance is 131.
