Foo Fighters to Open for AC/DC in St. Louis on Sept. 8

Dave Grohl called the one‑night slot a “dream come true,” framing the appearance as a personal tribute to AC/DC.

Overview

  • The Foo Fighters confirmed on Thursday that they will fill in for The Pretty Reckless as special guests for AC/DC’s Sept. 8 show at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis and Live Nation lists tickets on sale.
  • Dave Grohl announced the date on Instagram and described sharing the stage with AC/DC as a long‑held goal tied to seeing the band’s 1980 concert film as a formative moment.
  • The Sept. 8 appearance is a one‑off detour from the Foo Fighters’ Take Cover global stadium tour and sits between their Sept. 4 Rock in Rio slot and a return to North America on Sept. 12.
  • Billboard reported that The Pretty Reckless had not responded to requests for an explanation for why they will not perform the previously scheduled St. Louis opening slot.
  • The matchup brings two generations of major live rock acts to a roughly 67,000‑capacity stadium, a pairing likely to drive added ticket demand and publicity for both bands’ tours.
