AC/DC Show at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium Canceled Due to ‘Significant Damage’ From Massive Thunderstorm

The Australian rock legends were slated to play their third-to-last Power Up tour show at the venue on Sept. 16.

Mother nature is the only force that can slow down AC/DC. The veteran Australian hard rockers were slated to play one of the last shows on their two-year, 90-date Power Up tour at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on Sept.

16, but on Wednesday night (Sept. 9) the stadium announced that the show could not go on after the venue suffered major damage in a storm last week. Explore AC/DC See latest videos, charts and news.

The statement revealed that after a “thorough assessment” of the stadium after last week’s extreme weather event — which resulted in wide swaths of seats getting tossed, twisted and ripped from their moorings and other damage to the venue — there was no way to stage the show.

It described a “suspected microburst in the area” from a “100-year storm” that included extreme winds and heavy rainfall.

Wayne Zronik, president of business operations for Live Nation Canada also weighed in with a statement in which he said that canceling a concert is “never a decision we want to make.” He acknowledged that doing so is disappointing to everyone who was looking forward to AC/DC closing out the venue’s summer season.

The right decision is to make the time to remove and rebuild the affected parts of the stadium to ensure it is ready to welcome fans next summer.”.

There are three gigs left on AC/DC’s tour, including a Saturday (Sept. 12) stop at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, a Sept. 25 stop at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.
