Foo Fighters Perth at a glance
Foo Fighters and the Take Cover Tour
Foo Fighters were formed by Dave Grohl in 1994 and are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Songs like “Everlong”, “The Pretender”, “Best of You”, “Learn to Fly” and “Times Like These” have made them one of the biggest live rock acts in the world. The Take Cover Tour brings stadium shows to Australia and New Zealand, with local support acts on each date.
Perth is the last stop on the run, three days after Auckland on 22 January. Southern River Band and Last Quokka, both local acts, are listed as the Perth support.

The venue: HBF Park
HBF Park is Perth’s rectangular stadium at 310 Pier Street in East Perth, only minutes from the CBD. It is home to Western Force rugby and Perth Glory football and hosts concerts throughout the year.
The event page recommends the show for ages 5 and over. Patrons aged 14 and under must be with a responsible adult, and GA standing is recommended for ages 15 and over. Bag rules, prohibited items and running times are listed in the venue’s event day information and conditions of entry, so check the official site closer to the date.
Where to sit
For this show the stadium lists Front GA standing and Rear GA standing on the field, plus reserved seating in three price categories, A, B and C, and a general admission standing area called The Shed. The stage sits at one end of the field, and the stands are named by letter around it. The map below shows how the stadium fits together.
- Front GA: standing on the field, closest to the stage.
- Rear GA: standing on the field, set back behind Front GA.
- East stand (E): reserved seats along one side of the field, with open boxes.
- North stand (N): reserved seats along the other side of the field.
- South stand (S): reserved seats along the opposite side, in two tiers.
- West stand (W): reserved seats and suites behind the stage.
- The Shed: a standing area on the far side of the North stand.
If you are choosing between standing and a seat, think about how you like to watch a show. Standing on the field gets you closest to the stage, while a seat in the stands gives you a raised, more comfortable view of the whole set-up.
Getting there and getting around
Flights
Perth Airport is the main gateway for Western Australia. Most visitors need an Australian visa or ETA before travelling, so confirm entry requirements on the official Australian Government site.
To the stadium
- Train: the nearest stations are East Perth, Claisebrook and McIvor. Check Transperth for the best route from your accommodation.
- Bus: routes stop on Lord Street and Beaufort Street, and on Railway Parade for the 55. On event days the venue says your event ticket covers Transperth travel from three hours before to three hours after the event, so show your ticket to the driver or inspector. Check Transperth to confirm this applies to the show.
- Driving: street parking is very limited and most nearby areas are restricted to residents. Pier Street, Brewer Street and Stirling Street have ticketed parking, and the Brisbane Street car park charges after the first free hour. Confirm rates and restrictions with the City of Vincent.
- Accessible parking: Loton Park, entered from Lord Street, is for ACROD permit holders only and must be booked. See the stadium’s accessibility page for details.
- Taxi and rideshare: the stadium’s venue map shows the drop-off points.
Plan your journey home before the show, as trains and buses will be busy straight after the last song.
Where to stay
Staying in the city centre or at Elizabeth Quay puts you close to restaurants and bars along the Swan River, with trains to East Perth for the stadium. Concert nights push prices up, and late January is peak summer holiday season, so book early and choose a flexible rate if you can.
Suggested hotel: The Ritz-Carlton, Perth
The Ritz-Carlton, Perth is part of the Elizabeth Quay development, with 205 guestrooms including 19 suites. Rooms and suites offer city and Swan River views, and the hotel overlooks the river and Kings Park. It also has a spa, a fitness centre and a yoga studio. It suits a trip where you want a polished base on the waterfront.

Check AvailabilityThings to do in Perth
If you are travelling for the show, add a day or two. Perth has a sunny riverside city centre, beaches, wine country and some of Australia’s best wildlife within day-trip reach.
Rottnest Island by ferry
Rottnest Island is the home of the quokka, and this day tour includes the return ferry from Perth, island admission and a 90-minute coach tour, with free time for beaches, cycling or snorkelling. The ferry leaves from Elizabeth Quay at 8:45am and returns at 4:30pm, so it works best the day before or after the show.
Swan Valley wine tour with lunch
The Swan Valley is Perth’s closest wine region. This seven-hour tour includes three guided wine tastings, a cheese board, a tapas lunch with a drink, a distillery tasting and a chocolate factory stop, with transport included. It is an easy plan for the day of the show if you are home in time.
Pinnacles Desert, Yanchep and Swan Valley
This 10-hour day tour from Perth takes in an easy walk through the Pinnacles Desert, koalas and kangaroos at Yanchep National Park and a Swan Valley stop on the way back, with a fish and chips lunch and hotel pick-up from selected CBD and Northbridge hotels. It is a long day, so plan it for the day before or after the show.
Practical tips for fans
- Arrive early. Entry queues take longer on a big stadium night, and a Monday show means many people will be coming straight from work.
- Late January is mid-summer in Perth and can be very hot, so pack sun protection, drink water and wear a hat if you will be in the sun before doors.
- Check the stadium’s conditions of entry for bag rules and prohibited items before you travel, and travel light.
- Plan your ride home in advance, and check Transperth for event services and disruptions.
- If you are standing, think about comfortable shoes and ear protection, as stadium rock shows are loud.
- Only buy tickets from sellers you trust, and compare resale prices against face value.
