Foo Fighters‘ tour rider for Jakarta includes special permission to swear, smoke and drink on stage
Foo Fighters' tour rider for Jakarta allows them permission to swear, smoke and drink on stage.
The band recently announced their first show in the Indonesian capital since 1996 will take place at Carnaval Ancol on October 2 and they have requested and been granted special permission to curse, drink and smoke during the show but won't touch on 'sensitive topics'.
According to Consequence Sound, Ravel Junardy, the promoter of the show and the CEO of Ravel Entertainment said: 'They've asked for the freedom to curse on stage, as well as permission to smoke and drink during the show. As long as it doesn't touch on sensitive topics like race, religion, or Indonesian cultural values, we'll allow it.'
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Josh Freese – the drummer who replaced the late Taylor Hawkins after his sudden death in 2022 – had been abruptly fired from the band with no warning.
Josh shared on Instagram earlier this month: 'The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know they've decided 'to go in a different direction with their drummer.'
"No reason was given. :( Regardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage, and I support whatever they feel is best for the band.
'In my 40 years of drumming professionally, I've never been let go from a band, so while I'm not angry – just a bit shocked and disappointed.
'But as most of you know I've always worked freelance and bounced between bands so, I'm fine. Stay tuned for my 'Top 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the Foo Fighters' list.'

AFL grand final 2025: Rumours swirl that rock band The Foo Fighters could be playing at the MCG
It is rumoured that the 2025 AFL grand final entertainment could be American rock band The Foo Fighters. Triple M's Mark 'Roo' Ricciuto said he received the tip from someone in 'AFL circles' during the Rumour Mill segment on Wednesday morning. 'A little birdie let it slip to me in AFL circles in the last couple days, that the Foo Fighters might be the entertainment for the 2025 grand final,' Roo told his co-hosts Ditts and Loz. 'Now it's not a done deal, I haven't investigated, I haven't even looked at whether they're a chance of being here. 'This is not 100% but it's a bloody good chance.' However, Loz did some digging and discovered the band had plans to perform in Singapore a week after the grand final on September 27. The Foo Fighters also announced a 2025 world tour but have not released their Australia dates. 'The Foo Fighters are gonna be playing the Singapore Grand Prix a week after the AFL grand final, so they're going to be in the southern hemisphere and then they're going to be doing a world tour later on,' Loz said. She mentioned that Robbie Williams, who dazzled fans at the 2022 grand final, kicked off his tour shortly after his MCG performance, suggesting the rockers might take a similar approach. 'When Robbie Williams came and did the grand final he had a tour following that and was pushing tickets towards that, so, it's a way of getting people excited,' Loz added. Last year, American pop-princess Katy Perry delivered an electrifying performance for a roaring grand final crowd. She entered the turf on a metallic car for her 17-minute set which included a cameo from Australian icon Tina Arena.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen marry in California
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have got married. The 28-year-old actress and the Buffalo Bills quarterback were photographed walking down the aisle at a ceremony in California on Saturday (31.05.25). The couple were initially linked romantically back in 2023 and went on to announce their engagement in an Instagram post last November - although the NFL star's proposal caught Hailee by surprise. Asked if she suspected that Josh would pop the question, the 'Sinners' star told Who What Wear: "Oh my God, no! You talk to your girlfriends about that, right, where you're like, 'I just don't want to know.' She added of the proposal: "It was magical. That's the word." Hailee was also delighted that Josh, 29, made sure that she was dressed appropriately for the occasion. She said: "I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have to cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?' Josh recently described how he was really "proud" of Hailee following her starring role in the critically acclaimed horror movie 'Sinners'. He said: "I'm so excited for her and so proud of her. "It's getting some great reviews and it's a fantastic movie, so go watch it." The quarterback is one of the top players in the NFL and signed a six-year deal with the Buffalo Bills worth $330 million in March but is happy to let his sporting talents take a backseat to Hailee's acting success. Josh said: "I'm just there trying to support her in whatever way that I can. "That was her moment and I'm so glad she got to shine." Hailee had claimed in April that she was focusing on promoting 'Sinners' - in which she plays the character Mary - before sorting out arrangements for her and Josh's wedding. The 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' star told 'Extra': "We are in the middle of a press tour. We got a movie coming out in 12 days? Six, something. We're focused on that." Steinfeld explained that she had learnt a lot about herself and her family during the making of the film, which is set in the south of the United States during the 1930s. She said: "I would say I learned a lot about my myself through Mary and even more about my family history … I had so many amazing conversations with my mom about her family and about her dad, my grandfather, who is half black, who I wish every day - because of this movie and for so many other reasons - I could call and ask him all the questions, and I would absolutely do that if he were here."
