AC/DC Concert Canceled Due to '100-Year Storm'
10 Sep
Summary
- AC/DC's September 16 concert in Toronto was canceled.
- Severe damage from a '100-year storm' requires stadium rebuild.
- The tour continues with future dates in the US and Canada.
The AC/DC concert scheduled for September 16 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto has been canceled. This decision follows severe damage to the venue caused by an extreme weather event last week. Engineers and city officials determined that portions of the stadium impacted by the storm must be removed and rebuilt.
Described by an on-site meteorologist as a '100-year storm,' the event involved a suspected microburst, high winds, and heavy rainfall. The extensive damage necessitates repairs that will likely take until next summer to complete, according to Live Nation Canada.
This cancellation affects the band's Power Up Tour, with their second of three Canadian dates being impacted. While no suitable alternative venue was found in Toronto, AC/DC is expected to continue their tour with subsequent performances planned in Montreal, Winnipeg, East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Philadelphia.
