The Foo Fighters have brought on Nine Inch Nails drummer IIan Rubin ahead of their upcoming tour across Indonesia, Singapore and Japan, Billboard has confirmed.

As first reported by THR.com, Rubin replaces drummer Josh Freese, who parted ways with Dave Grohl‘s rock outfit in May. Freese had joined the Foo Fighters in May 2023 to fill the spot left by the passing of the late Taylor Hawkins. In a strange plot twist, Freese will now reportedly join Nine Inch Nails to fill in for Rubin on Nine Inch Nails’ Peel it Back tour.

Freese had drummed for Nine Inch Nails from 2005 to 2008. It’s unclear if Rubin will join the band full-time or just tour with the band at upcoming shows.

The Foo Fighters haven’t performed since Sept 28, 2024 at the Southside Music Festival in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The band is scheduled to play in Jakarta, Indonesia on Oct. 2, and then headline the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore two days later. Foo Fighters are scheduled to headline two nights at Saitama, Japan’s Super Arena Oct. 7 & 8 before heading to Kobe, Japan for a concert on Oct. 10. The band returns to North America Nov. 14 to perform at Corona Capital in Mexico City on Nov. 14.

Nine Inch Nails are set to begin their arena tour next month with support act Boys Noize. The band begins its tour Aug. 6 in Oakland, Calif., before heading up to Portland, Ore. to play at the Moda Center on Aug. 8.
