After recently sharing new single "Run," Foo Fighters on Tuesday confirmed plans to release a new album, Concrete and Gold, out Sept. 15 on Roswell/RCA Records.

Marking the band's ninth studio album and their followup to 2014's Sonic Highways, it will also see Dave Grohl and Co. exploring new territory, working for the first time with mega-producer Greg Kurstin, whose previous credits include hits for Adele and Sia, as well a number of collaborations with the likes of Beck, The Shins, Tegan and Sara and more.

“I wanted it to be the biggest sounding Foo Fighters record ever," Grohl said in a statement. "To make a gigantic rock record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of melody and arrangement—Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper … or something like that.”

To support the new record, the band will be hitting the road for an arena tour this fall as well as a one-day festival called Cal Jam, envisioned by Grohl as a "backyard party for 50,000 people, set for Oct. 7 in San Bernardino, California.

Cal Jam will include performances from Foo Fighters themselves, as well as Queens of the Stone Age, Cage the Elephant, Liam Gallagher, The Kills, Royal Blood, Japandroids, Wolf Alice, Bob Mould, Bully, Circa Waves and more.

Tickets for both Cal Jam and the tour go on sale June 29 at 10 a.m. local time, although Capital One will have access to a pre-sale starting June 26.
