Dave Grohl BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Dave Grohl made major headlines this week with a string of events that showcase both his enduring musical legacy and his headline-grabbing personal life. On September 23, 2025, the Foo Fighters, led by Grohl, delivered a powerhouse surprise show at the legendary Toad’s Place in New Haven, Connecticut. The concert was an ultra-rare club appearance for the stadium-filling band, timed to mark both the 50th anniversary of the venue and a full 34 years since Grohl last played there with Nirvana. Local press described the night as electric, with fans lining up for hours to grab the $30 tickets that were only announced a day in advance. The event was packed with emotion, as Grohl paid tribute to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and welcomed Ilan Rubin for his debut on drums—a move many see as a significant new chapter for the band as they launch a new world tour. The Foo Fighters mixed hits from their critically lauded album But Here We Are with the first live performances of their latest single, Today's Song. Video and fan reaction quickly flooded social media, with Grohl’s passionate vocals and seeming rejuvenation with Rubin on drums drawing rave reviews from both music critics and longtime fans according to coverage from both local outlets and fan channels.
But the spotlight didn’t stay confined to the stage. Dave Grohl and his wife Jordyn Blum made a rare joint public appearance at a charity event on September 29, as reported by TMZ and AOL Entertainment. It was their first high-profile outing together in several months, coming after a turbulent period when Grohl revealed earlier this year that he had welcomed a child outside their marriage. Their united front at the event sent a message that, while personal issues have surfaced, they remain committed to working things through publicly.
Notably absent from this week’s coverage was Grohl’s actual involvement at Eddie Vedder’s Ohana Music Festival, where Foo Fighters’ connections from previous years were recalled but Grohl himself did not participate this time around. Social media has been abuzz with video clips from the Toad’s Place concert and supportive commentary about Grohl’s resilience and the new Foo Fighters lineup, while celebrity news outlets focused on his relationship status and his return to the public eye with Jordyn Blum.
These intertwined stories—Grohl’s triumphant return to intimate live shows, the eagerly watched new band dynamics, and candid moments in his personal life after a year of headlines—signal a week of both artistic revitalization and careful public image management for one of rock’s enduring icons. No major speculative rumors have surfaced to overshadow these verified events, making this a week truly dominated by Dave Grohl’s own actions and choices.
