AC/DC’s upcoming show at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium has been cancelled following the severe damage the venue sustained during Wednesday’s (September 3) powerful thunderstorm. The storm collapsed parts of the stadium’s seating and left crumpled metal in its wake, prompting the City of Toronto to issue an “Order to Remedy Unsafe Building” to Live Nation Canada. A statement announcing the cancellation on the Rogers Stadium Instagram account reads in part, “We regret to announce that AC/DC’s show scheduled for September 16, 2026, at Rogers Stadium in Toronto has been cancelled due to the damage the venue sustained following a severe weather event. The safety of fans, artists, crew, and venue staff remains our highest priority. Every effort was made to find potential solutions for the show to move forward in Toronto, but unfortunately we were unable to find an alternative venue that could accommodate everyone. Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically receive a refund to their original method of payment; no action is required.” The show was part of AC/DC’s ongoing PWR UP tour and the remaining dates are unaffected. The band will be playing Montreal on September 12, Winnipeg on September 20, New Jersey on September 25, and Philadelphia on September 29.

This year’s program is no exception, […]</p>
