Foo Fighters Debut “Your Favorite Toy” Live on Graham Norton Show
The Foo Fighters delivered a roaring performance of their new single, “Your Favorite Toy,” on the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show, marking the song’s live debut. The performance comes ahead of the release of the band’s 12th studio album, also titled “Your Favorite Toy,” scheduled for April 24th.
The band was forced to adjust its lineup for the television appearance. Guitarist Pat Smear remains sidelined due to a broken foot, with Jason Falkner filling in on guitar. Adding to the sonic texture, Jake Shears and Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters provided backing vocals during the energetic performance.
Following the musical segment, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl joined a diverse group of guests on the show’s couch, including actor Benicio del Toro, actress Jennifer Garner, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, and singer Charli XCX for a conversation.
“Your Favorite Toy” is set to be the title track of the band’s upcoming album and is already generating excitement among fans. The Foo Fighters plan to support the album with a “Take Cover” stadium tour in 2026, featuring Queens of the Stone Age as a supporting act, as well as appearances at various music festivals.
The song’s creation marked a turning point in the album’s development, according to the band. It “really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album,” Grohl reportedly said. The band stumbled upon the track after a year of experimentation, and it ultimately served as the catalyst for the rest of the record.
The performance on The Graham Norton Show is available to watch on YouTube via the Foo Fighters’ official channel. The band also shared highlights from the show on social media.
