AC/DC Toronto show in doubt after venue suffers significant storm damage

Louder · 37 minutes ago

AC/DC's sold-out concert at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, scheduled for 16 September as part of their 2026 Power Up world tour, is at risk after the venue was badly damaged in a storm. The Canadian city was hit by severe weather on Wednesday, bringing flooding and strong winds that caused widespread disruption, and part of the stadium's temporary seating stands has since collapsed. With only days remaining before the show, promoters face a race against time to repair the venue and satisfy safety inspectors.

The City of Toronto has issued promoters Live Nation Canada with an "order to remedy unsafe building" following an inspection on Thursday, and photographs show significant collapse damage to one of the temporary stands at the 50,000-capacity venue. Local councillor James Pasternak told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that it remains unclear whether the stadium can be rebuilt and repaired to a safe standard in time, adding that organisers "may not be able to get AC/DC in this year."
